Medical terminology

Medical terminology may seem as incomprehensible as a foreign language. However, often terms can be understood by disassembling them into components (prefixes, roots and suffixes). For example, spondylolysis is a combination of the parts “spondilo”, which means “vertebra” and “fox”, which means “destroy”, therefore the whole word means destruction of the vertebra.

Similar components are used in many medical terminals. “Spondylitis” and “itis,” which means “inflammation,” together form “spondylitis,” that is, inflammation of the vertebrae. This means that the “soft” that forms the word “spondylomalacia” is a softening of the vertebrae.
