Understanding word structure helps in breaking down medical terms. For example, knowing prefixes (like "hyper - " meaning over) and suffixes (like "-itis" meaning inflammation) simplifies learning medical terminology. A word can have both prefix and suffix (e.g., "hypertension"). Most roots and affixes are based on Greek and Latin, not Roman and Hebrew. Roots and affixes have consistent meanings across words (e.g., "cardi - " always relates to heart).
