Prefixes, suffixes, word roots

Terms in veterinary terminology or language in general are composed of various parts. The main part of a word is called the root. Adding something in front or behind the root changes the meaning of the root word. 

Prefixes, suffixes, word roots

Adding a letter or a word in front of the root is called prefix

example: preoperative

Adding a letter or word behind the root is called a suffix

example: Glossitis
