But remove the O if the 2nd root starts with a Vowel. (there are exceptions) – Example‫عظم‬ ‫غضروف‬ u Oste/o + chondr/ + -itis =osteochondritis – Inflammation of bone and cartilage  Spelling Medical words Medical words of Greek origin are often difficult to spell because many begin with a silent letter or have a silent letter within the word.
