Question

true or false question

all medical terms have a suffix, which gives the essential meaning to the word.

true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the role of a suffix

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a term. It usually indicates a procedure, condition, system, or disease.

Identify the core meaning carrier

The word root (or combining form) provides the core, essential meaning of a medical term, not the suffix.

Evaluate the statement

While almost all medical terms contain a suffix, the suffix does not give the essential meaning to the word. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
