Summary Introduction

A “word root” is referred to as the foundation of a “medical term”. The word root contains the primary meaning of a medical term. Generally, all medical terms contain minimum one “word root”. A combining form is formed (for example, spleno), if the word root (splen) is combined with the vowel (o or i). The vowel is also called a combining vowel. The combining vowel (o or i) does not have any meaning, however used for connecting two or more than two word elements, for example, splenomegaly (spleen/o/megaly). Splenomegaly is known as the enlargement of the spleen.
