The contents of the topic:
There are two basic ways of forming new words in Latin:
1. Affixation (adding prefixes and suffixes to the stem). The words formed by
affixation are called derived words.
2. Word combination (when two or more stems go together to form a new
word). The words formed this way are called compound ones.
Latin words are joined by the vowels -i- and -o-, e. g.: mult-i-cellularis
(multicellular); sacr-o-lumbalis (sacrolumbar); cerebr-o-spinalis (cerebrospinal).
Greek words are joined by the vowel -o-, e. g.: arthr-o-pathia (the disease of
joints). When the second word begins with a vowel, then -o- is often dropped, e. g.:
neuralgia (neuralgia); adenectomia (adenectomy).
The stems of the words in Gen. sing. are most frequently used to form
compound and derived words, e. g.: dermatitis (from derma, dermat-is (skin))
means inflammation of the skin, dermatologia is the science about skin diseases.
Sometimes the stem of the word in Nom. sing. (the so-called pseudostem) is
used for better pronunciation, e. g.: py-o-derm-ia (purulent inflammation of the
skin); epi-derm-is (epidermis).
In a compound noun an attribute usually comes first whereas the head word is
the final element (it is called a word termination or a term-element), e. g.:
