Medical+Prefixes,+Roots+and+Suffixes

During this course, you will be responsible for learning a multitude of new vocabulary terms. To assist you in learning and understanding these terms, it is helpful to break down the terms into separate components. You will be assigned new sets of prefixes, roots, or suffixes to learn every several weeks.


 * Prefix**: A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word to modify or change its meaning. Pre means "before." Prefixes may also indicate a location, number, or time. **Root**: central part of a word. **Suffix**: The ending part of a word that modifies the meaning of the word. Example: homeless. Root = 'home' and the suffix is 'less'. It can also refer to a condition, disease, disorder, or procedure.
