Latin and Greek Roots
The roots listed in this dictionary are words from which the prefixes and suffixes used in constructing biological terminology are frequently derived. Often, multiple prefixes and suffixes are based on a single root. In general, the components used in constructing scientific terminology and med terms are either of Latin or Greek derivation. In building these terms, scientists have traditionally combined Latin components with other Latin components, and Greek components with Greek ones (although this rule has not been as strictly followed in recent years).
