State

Building a medical term means applying four joining rules: the prefix attaches directly, a root links a vowel suffix, a combining form links a consonant suffix, and a combining form links root to root.

Watch for

The rules apply at each join separately. One term can use the root at one join and the combining form at the next, as gastroenterology does.
