Appendic/o means appendix and -itis means inflammation; therefore, appendicitis
is inflammation of the appendix. Append/o does mean appendix, but appenditis is not the medical
term we use. -pathy means disease, so appendicopathy means appendix disease. -osis means
abnormal condition; thus, appendicosis would mean abnormal condition of the appendix.
