MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
Root and suffix
Lip / emiaRoot – fat suffix – blood condition
Meaning: condition of fat in the blood
Hyper / lip / emiaPrefix-excessive root-fat suffix-blood condition
Prefix is used to further modify the root.Definition: Excessive fat in the blood.
ADDITIONAL ROOTS
Hyper / lip / o / protein/ emia root vowel root
Definition: excessive amount of fat and protein in the blood.
COMBINING VOWELS AND COMBINING FORMS
Vowel links the two root words to allow easier pronunciation.
o= combining vowel (most common)i=combining vowel
Rules for Forming and Spelling Medical Terms
1. A combining vowel is used to join root to root as well as root to any suffix beginning with a consonant.
Electr + cardi + gramElectr/o/cardi/o/gram = electrical record of the
heart
2. A combining vowel is not used before a suffix that begins with a vowel:
Vas + ectomyVas/ectomy
Vas = vesselEctomy = escision excision of a vessel
3. If the root ends in a vowel and the suffix begins with the same vowel, drop the final vowel from the root and do not use a combining vowel:
Cardi + itisRoot(heart) suffix (inflammation)Card/itis inflammation of the heart
4. Most often, a combining vowel is inserted between two roots even when the second root begins with a vowel.
Cardi + esophag + ealRoot root suffixHeart esophagus pertaining toCardi/o/esophageal (pertaining to the heart
and esophagus)
5. Occasionally, when a prefix ends in a vowel and the root begins with a vowel, the final vowel is dropped from the prefix.
Para + enter + alPrefix root suffixAlongside of intestine pertaining toPar/enter/al = parenteralPertaining to alongside of the intestine
Defining Medical Terms Through Word Structure Analysis
Interpret the suffix first, then prefix, then the roots.
Peri / card / itis
Prefix root suffixAround heart
inflammationPericarditis – inflammation around the heart.

1. Angi + ectasis = angi/ectasis2. Hemat + logy = hematology3. Oste + ectomy = ostectomy4. Electr + encephal + gram =
electroencephalogram5. Arteri + it is = arteritis6. Gastr + tomy = gastrotomy
