Question

Create medical term from the definition below. The word root has been provided for you. Destruction or dissolution of a clot (clot: thromb/o)

Answer 1

Answer:

Trombolysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Etymology is the study of the history of the words, the origin of them. In medical terminology roots, suffices and prefixes in Latin and ancient greek are commonly used to describe symptoms, deceases, etc.

Prefixes don't require further modification to be added to a word root because the prefix normally ends in a vowel or vowel sound, suffixes are attached to the end of a word root to add meaning such as condition, disease process, or procedure.

Considering this we look for the Latin of destruction, desintegration, "lyse", and then modify it as a termination suffix "-is", obtaining the termination "-lysis", and finally, we unify both words into one:

Trombolysis
