DERIVATION OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY: SUFFIXES AND PREFIXES

Summary/Abstract: Medical terminology often prefixes and suffixes in Latin and Ancient Greek. The formation of these terms implies a good knowledge not only of their etymology but also of some cultural landmarks because the references can be some of the most varied: from history, to mythology, biology, aesthetic values. Those who study the formation of medical terms undertake a work of linguistic archeology that offers the satisfaction of understanding some of the most varied areas of knowledge.
