Chapters: List of Medical Roots, Suffixes and Prefixes. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 191. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymology. There are a few rules when using medical roots. Firstly, prefixes and suffixes, primarily in Greek, but also in Latin, have a droppable -o-. As a general rule, this -o- almost always acts as a joint-stem to connect two consonantal roots, e.g. arthr- + -o- + logy = arthrology. But generally, the -o- is dropped when connecting to a vowel-stem; e.g. arthr- + itis = arthritis, instead of arthr-o-itis. Secondly, medical roots generally go together according to language: Greek prefixes go with Greek suffixes and Latin prefixes with Latin suffixes. Although it is technically considered acceptable to create hybrid words, it is strongly preferred to not mix different lingual roots. The following is an alphabetical list of medical prefixes and suffixes, along with their meanings, origin, and an English example. This section contains lists of different root classification (e.g. body components, quantity, description, etc.). Each list is alphabetized by English meanings, with the corresponding Greek and Latin roots given.

Guide to Spanish Suffixes (Language - Spanish
This is a great vocabulary builder in Spanish for me.The only reason my vocabulary hasn't grown more is the lack of time spent.It helps to already have alot of verbs memorized in the infinitive form and from there you can expand a lot with this book.A great purchase for me.

Makes up for all those years
After years of sitting in uninspired Spanish classes (I minored in Spanish in college), finally something USEFUL! If only my professors had taught us the fine points of the language like that which is in this book, rather than hours and hours of pounding verb tenses in our heads (a language is more, MUCH more than just preterit and imperfect tenses!!), I might HABLO better than I do now!FABULOUS AUTHOR AND BOOK!

A priceless suffix guide
This is a valuable resource for those who are pursuing specialized studies in Spanish such as translation and linguistics. The book will also be helpful to advanced students, teachers and native speakers who have an interest in the specifics of the language such as the art to vocabulary building. The book focuses on Spanish suffixes and the possible equivalents in the English language where applicable. This book will help you to grow your vocabulary, better understand the roots of Spanish words and also help you to strengthen your foundation in understanding the logical aspect in the formation of words in Spanish. For example:

Words that end in -ity- in English usually end in -dad- Spanish. Humanity=humanidad and eternity =eternidad and the gender is feminine.-ence- and -ency- in English is equivalent to -encia- in Spanish. Agency= agencia and Afluency=afluencia.

Also at the end of every suffix studied there are samples of idiomatic expressions at random that are very helpful which will also increase your vocabulary and knowledge of fixed expressions in Spanish. Examples from the book include:

1) a suplicacion- on petition or by request
2) andar en lenguas- to be the subject of gossip
3) hora punta- rush hour
4) noticia bomba- sensational news
5) huelga decir-needless to say.

I have not seen anything comparable to this guide on the market. I have owned for seven years now and it has been an educational and priceless resource.

Great Book
This book was a great asset to me.This helped me breeze through my spanish suffixes in a flash.I reccomend this book to anyone willing to take the time to learn spanish the fun and easy way. ... Read more
