medical health brain and nervous system disordersCan a word end with a combining form?
In this manner, what is attached to a combining form?
That is, they are word parts that attach to the beginning or end of a word or word base (a word stripped down to its simplest form) to produce a related word or an inflectional form of a word. A combining form is a form of a word that only appears as part of another word.
In respect to this, what does the combining form o mean?
A combining form is the combination of a root with a combining vowel. Example: ARTHR/O “ARTHR” is the root, and the “O” is the combining vowel. “O” is the most frequently used combining vowel.
When you take a word root and add a vowel it becomes a combining form. This vowel is usually an ?o?, and it is called a combining vowel.
