Answer:

The  greater part of medicinal terms are organized in three sections: Root, Prefix, and Suffix.  

Explanation:

The Root is the piece of the word that gives the essential significance (what the word is  alluding to, for the most part the piece of the body it is alluding to), for instance  Cardi = Heart. Sometimes there is in excess of one root, and they are joined  by a vowel to make it less demanding to pronounce. The Prefix isn't really present, yet it used to change the importance of the It can likewise determine a period, place, area or status. For instance: Ven (Root: the vain) and Ous (Suffix: identifying with).  The Suffix is set toward the finish of the Root to demonstrate its capacity or change  its importance. A case of an exceptionally normal Suffix

<span>The majority of medical terms are structured in three parts: Root, Prefix, and Suffix. </span>

<span>
The Root is the part of the word that gives the basic meaning (what the word is referring to, usually the part of the body it is referring to), for example Cardi = Heart. In some cases there is more than one root, and they are combined by a vowel to make it easier to pronounce. </span>

<span>
The Prefix is not necessarily present, but it used to change the meaning of the word it is placed in front of. An example of a Prefix is A- or AN-, so, anaemia = no aemia = lack of blood.
It can also specify a time, place, location or status. For example: Intravenous = Intra (Prefix: within), Ven (Root: the vain) and Ous (Suffix: relating to). </span>

<span>
The Suffix is placed at the end of the Root to indicate its function or change its meaning. An example of a very common Suffix is –IT IS (inflammation), for example Arthritis. </span>

<span>
There are some medical terms that do not follow this structure but in this case, they cannot be deconstructed into single bits. </span>

if my parents hit me with the metal end of a flyswatter and metal clothes hangers, and threaten to rip my head off, is that abus
ExtremeBDS [4]

Well, it depends on the context and the severity. If they are mad at you when doing it, it could be considered abuse, especially if there are marks on your body from it. If it is jokingly or sarcastic, then no. Clothes hangers and fly swatters don't seem that bad, but of course, I am not you, nor am I in your situation. You won't get much help if you have no proof, so you would have to have maybe some marks or a video or sound recording. Every police officer and social worker has different opinions though, so you could get help from one with no proof and you could not get help from one even if you have proof. I would say, think wisely about what you will do about it and balance the pros and cons before you act on it.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know :)
