MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
• The words – or terms – which make up the language of medicine are referred to as the terminology of the medical field…known as medical terminology.
• Like every other language, medical terminology has changed over time and will continue to change.
• Most medical terms come from the Greek and Latin languages.
33
How It Works
Most medical terms can be broken down into parts like a sentence.
Common word parts/components: Prefixes / Roots or Words / SuffixesPrefixes / Roots or Words / Suffixes
Linking or combining vowel usually “o”, but occasionally
“e” or “i”.
The medical terms will contain one or more of these components.
44
PREFIX
A prefix is a word component placed in front of a root/word to change or modify its meaning.
A prefix can give a root direction or position. It can also give a root a specific type/ classification, quality, or quantity.
55
Common Prefixes
• Ab- away from midline• Acu- needle• Anti- against• Auto- self• Bi- two, both, double• Dys- abnormal, bad,
painful• Hemi- half• Hetero- opposite, different
66
• Homo- same, similar• Hyster- uterus• Men- menstruation• Quadri- four• Re- back, again• Super- above, beyond• Tri- three
More Prefixes!
• A-, An- without, none • Ad- toward/near midline• Acro- extremities• Ambi- on both sides• Bio- life• Brady- slow• Circum- around,
encircling• Contra- against• Dys- difficult, painful,
bad, abnormal• Endo- within
77
• Epi- upon, over, above• Ex- out, out of• Hyper- excessive,
above, too much, over, beyond
• Hypo- less than, under, below, deficient
PREFIXES continued
• Hydro- fluid, water• Inter- between• Intra- within• Iso- equal• Mal- ill, bad• Meta- after, beyond,
change• Multi- many, more than
one• Neo- new or abnormal
88
• Poly- many, much• Post- after, behind• Pro- before, in front of,
forward• Retro- behind, backward• Sub- under, below, beneath• Supra- above, on the top
side• Tachy- fast• Trans- across, over
SUFFIX
A suffix is a word component added to the end of a root/word that changes or modifies its usage, function, or meaning.

1515
ROOT
A root is the basic element of a word, and it is the foundation on which the meaning of a word is built.
Many roots are real words in their own right and term. Although these roots can have other elements, they don't need other elements to be complete.
A root can be a whole word or a part of a word. Roots come from many different languages, mainly Greek and Latin, and find their way into English.
1616
Rules!
To define medical terms, divide or slash them into their component parts; these word components are called prefixes, suffixes, and roots.
Use the hyphen ( - ) after the word component to indicate that it is a prefix; use it after the combining form to indicate that it needs a suffix; use it before the word component to indicate it is a suffix.
For example: Epi-gastr/o/-cele
1717
More Rules!
Use the combining vowel “o” when a suffix begins with a consonant. i.e Termin/o/logy
Use the combining vowel “o” when combining two roots only if the second root begins with a consonant. i.e. Pneum/o/thorax
Do not use the combining vowel “o” if you are combining a second root that begins with a vowel or a suffix that begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y). i.e. Pneum/arthr/osis
Add –y to a word to indicate a procedure (gastroscopy) or –ly to indicate an act or process (splenomegaly).
1818
And More Rules!!
The suffix –osis always denotes a condition (usually abnormal). When combined with the color roots erythr/o- (red) and leuk/o- (white), it represents a condition of abnormally increased blood cells.
Most of the time, word components denoting color are used as prefixes. However, sometimes they are the root of the medical term.
