Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of combining vowels: Combining vowels are used in medical terminology to connect word roots to suffixes or other word roots, making the term easier to pronounce.

Learn the most common combining vowel: The combining vowel is typically chosen based on ease of pronunciation, and 'o' is the most commonly used combining vowel in medical terminology.

Recognize examples of combining vowels in medical terms: For instance, in the term 'osteopathy,' the combining vowel 'o' connects the root 'oste-' (bone) to the suffix '-pathy' (disease).

Compare other vowels: While 'e,' 'i,' and 'a' can occasionally be used as combining vowels, they are far less common than 'o.'

Apply this knowledge to medical terminology: When analyzing or constructing medical terms, remember that 'o' is the default combining vowel unless another vowel is needed for pronunciation.
