Dr. Horace Gerald Danner’s A Thesaurus of Medical Word Roots is a
compendium of the most-used word roots of the medical and
health-care professions. All word roots are listed alphabetically,
along with the Greek or Latin words from which they derive,
together with the roots’ original meanings. If the current
meaning of an individual root differs from the original meaning,
that is listed in a separate column. In the examples column, the
words which contain the root are then listed, starting with their
prefixes. For example, esthesia, which means “feeling,” has as
its prefixed roots alloesthesia, anesthesia, and dysesthesia. The
listing then switches to words where the root itself forms the
beginning, such as esthesiogenesis or esthesioneuroblastoma. These
root-starting terms then are followed by words where the root falls
in the middle or the end, as in acanthesthesia, cryesthesia, or
osmesthesia. In this manner, A Thesaurus of Medical Word Roots
places the word in as many word families as there are elements in
the word. This work will interest not only medical practitioners
but linguists and philologists and anyone interested in the
etymological aspects of medical terminology.
