Question 6 • Medical Terminology - EL3620 A

Which statement best describes how eponyms are different from Latin medical terms?

Answer
A
Eponyms are easier to remember than Latin terms.
B
Eponyms are shortened versions of Latin terms.
C
Eponyms do not describe medical treatments or procedures.
D
Eponyms are not as easy to break down into smaller word parts.

Explanation

Latin medical terms are often built from word roots, prefixes, and suffixes, so their parts can help explain their meaning. Eponyms are names based on people or places, such as a doctor’s name, and usually cannot be broken down in the same way. Therefore, the best choice is “Eponyms are not as easy to break down into smaller word parts.”
