Dictionary of Medical Derivations by W.G. Casselman Pdf

This dictionary explains the original meanings and correct use of the 500 Greek and Latin words and word parts that make up 98% of all medical terms used today. It stimulates better, quicker comprehension of medical terminology with less grinding memory work and is the ideal way for students to learn how medical words are formed from Latin and Greek roots and how to construct a medical vocabulary for both old and new medical words. It shows how to break long medical words into their simple Greek and Latin roots and helps solve the mystery of medical jargon by supplying a logical system for understanding terminology. Also, it is the first work of its kind to open up access for doctors to understanding the whole of medical terminology, regardless of specialty. And because it is a totally new dictionary readers can be assured of learning true etymologies and accurate meanings instead of the notoriously inaccurate and misleading derivations copied from one so-called standard dictionary to the other over the years. Example: "cholecystectomy": chole = gall + cyst = bladder + ec = out + tomy = cutting; so cholecystectomy is the surgical excision, or cutting out, of the gallbladder!

A Practical Medical Dictionary by Thomas Lathrop Stedman Pdf

Excerpt from A Practical Medical Dictionary: Of Words Used in Medicine With Their Derivation and Pronunciation, Including Dental, Veterinary, Chemical, Botanical, Electrical, Life Insurance and Other Special Terms The first edition of this work appeared in the spring of 1911, the second in the autumn of 1912, and since that time a new edition has been called for every second year. The kind reception which the medical public has given to the book has been most gratifying and has given the editor courage to persevere in the truly Sisyphean task of a continuous revision, one edition being no sooner published than the collection of new words and new uses of old words begins anew. Although every effort has been made to keep the size of the volume within the limits of the previous editions, the great number of new words and new definitions has necessitated an increase of twenty pages. For this the editor has no apology to offer, for the new matter is good matter and has been added in the interest of those who consult the dictionary.

The definitions are based upon the standard literature and authoritative text. Books of the day. And are not copied from the older vocabularies. As to pronunciation: The alphabetical sound of the letter has been the key. This avoids the use of a con! Using number of diacritics.
