a suffix which means \growth\ or \development\ (for example, preceded by the prefix
eo-\).
-plasm

Explanation:

• The suffix “-plasm” means “growth” or “development”. For example, “neoplasm” (neo - meaning new, plasm - meaning growth) refers to new growth (a tumor).
• The suffix “-itis” means inflammation (e.g., tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils).
• The suffix “-oma” means tumor (e.g., lymphoma - tumor of lymphatic tissue).
• The suffix “-trophy” means nourishment or development (but not as commonly used in the context of “growth” as “-plasm” in the given example with “neo - ”).

Answer:

• plasm
