PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The suffix (-lysis) refers to decomposition, dissolution, destruction, loosening, breaking down, separation, or disintegration.

Detailed explanation-2: -A large number of English vocabulary words contain the prefix se-, which means “apart.” Examples using this prefix include separate, secret and select.

Detailed explanation-3: -You will have noticed that the suffix ‘-free’ is usually hyphenated and is a stressed syllable (unlike ‘less’). However, in two of the above examples, ‘sugarfree’ and ‘carefree’, there is normally no hyphen, at least in the examples I have seen.
