Summary Introduction
A suffix is referred to as a word element that placed or attached at the end of a word. The suffix alters the meaning of a word. Generally, all medical terms contain the suffix. For example, in the medical terms pancreatitis and pancreatopathy, -itis (refers to inflammation) and –pathy (refers to a disease) are suffixes. In medical terminology, the suffix is used to describe a pathology, symptom, diagnosis, treatment, or part of speech.
