PREFIXES A prefix is a letter or a group of letters attached to the beginning of a root to modify its meaning. Hyperglycemia= an excess of glucose in the bloodstream a prefix (hyper), a root (glyc), a suffix (-emia). Cardi Brady+ card +ia = bradycardia (having slow heart rate) Tachy+ card+ ia= tachycardia (rapid heart rate).
When a suffix starting with a consonant is added to a root ending with a consonant, a vowel is added between the root and the suffix in order to ease the articulation of the resulting form. This vowel is referred to as the combining vowel. The root plus the combining vowel are called the combining form. Cystoscope is an instrument to visually examine the urinary bladder.
