Medical Terminology / Unit 1 MedTerm 0012 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Error: Using the Bare Root to Link Root to Root
Captions available
The idea
Using the bare root to link one root to another collapses the boundary between them and hides where each root begins.
In practice
Gastrenterology gives no signal where gastr ends and enter starts.
Where people slip
A joined term still has to show its seams. That is the combining vowel's whole job.
