Intro to Vet Nursing | Module 1 Combining Forms | Purdue University
Understanding medical terminology becomes much easier when you know how to use 'combining forms'. Assistant Director of Veterinary Nursing Distance Learning at Purdue University, Josh Clark, explains how to use the 'combining form' in medical terms. A 'combining form' is a vowel (most often 'o') added between word parts such as prefixes, roots, and suffixes to make words easier to pronounce. Clark elaborates the rules of its usage in a variety of contexts, providing critical insight into the creation and understanding of medical terms.
