Detailed explanation-1: -An example of a word you may have encountered that features myo-is myocardium, “the muscular substance of the heart.” We know myo-means “muscle, ‘’ so the-cardium portion of the word? That’s right, -cardium refers to “heart, ‘’ from the Greek kardía. Myocardium literally translates to “heart muscle.”
Detailed explanation-2: -The prefix ‘myo’ means muscle, followed by the root ‘card’ which means heart and then the suffix ‘itis’ means inflammation. So word parts provide the meaning of myocarditis: inflammation of the heart muscle.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Myo” stems from the Greek word “mŷs” which translates to both muscle and mouse.
Detailed explanation-4: -The prefix myo-or my-means muscle. It is used in a number of medical terms in reference to muscles or muscle-related disease.
