Question

which is not matched correctly?
-itis means inflammation -megaly means enlargement
-algia means pain, suffering -dynia means surgical repair

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the incorrect match, we analyze each term:

  • "-itis" correctly means inflammation (e.g., tonsillitis).
  • "-megaly" correctly means enlargement (e.g., hepatomegaly).
  • "-algia" correctly means pain/suffering (e.g., neuralgia).
  • "-dynia" actually means pain (e.g., gastrodynia), not surgical repair. Surgical repair is typically denoted by "-plasty" (e.g., rhinoplasty). So the match for "-dynia" is incorrect.

Answer:

-dynia means surgical repair
