The Usage of Prefixes in Medical Terms and Their Representatives in English
Abstract
This paper explores the usage of prefixes in medical terminology and examines their representative forms in the English language. Medical terms often derive from Latin and Greek roots, with prefixes playing a crucial role in conveying specific meanings related to location, quantity, time, and condition. Understanding these prefixes is essential for accurate interpretation and communication within medical contexts. The study categorizes common medical prefixes, such as hyper-, hypo-, brady-, tachy-, and anti-, analyzing their functions and implications. Additionally, it investigates how these prefixes are integrated into English usage and how they aid learners and professionals in comprehending complex medical vocabulary. The findings emphasize the significance of prefix knowledge in medical education and its practical application in healthcare settings.
