Medical terminology plays a crucial role in the understanding and communication within the medical field. Rooted in ancient languages such as Greek and Latin, medical terms consist of various components including prefixes, suffixes, and combining vowels. However, identifying the root of word formation within medical terms is essential for comprehensive comprehension. This research aims to address this by focusing on the prefix "cardio" and its associated medical pathological terms. Through systematic analysis, a list of medical pathological terms with the prefix "cardio" and their meanings was compiled. The study reveals the significance of understanding the roots of medical terms, highlighting their relevance in both medical education and practice. This research contributes to bridging the knowledge gap in medical terminology, emphasizing its importance in the medical and educational realms.
