Meducal: 医学英语常用后缀（附词卡）

👨🏻‍⚕️ @DRWILBER

今天我们学习常用后缀，我会先单独给出词缀的含义，然后用不同的医学术语进一步阐明，一些相对困难、影响理解的词根我会逐个指出。

The following list includes common suffixes. After the meaning of each suffix, I will use a terminology to illustrate the use of the suffix in various words. Some of the roots that might be relatively difficult for you will also be pointed out. 

开始之前我们回忆一下构词方法：词根后缀之间多用O连接，但当后缀以元音字母开头时，我们便不再使用O：如胃炎是Gastr·itis。

Before we get started, let us recall the basic rule for building a medical term: Use a combining vowel, such as o, to connect the root to the suffix. However, drop the combining vowel if the suffix begins with a vowel - for example, it should be gastr/itis rather than gastroitis.
