A) Latin.
B) German.
C) Greek.
D) Phoenician.
E) Greek or Latin.

Accepted Answer

Many medical terms come from either Greek or Latin roots, with some terms having roots in both languages. This is because Greek and Latin were both languages with a strong tradition of scientific and medical knowledge, and many of the scholars who contributed to the development of Western medicine wrote in one or both of these languages. As a result, many of the technical terms used in medicine have roots in Greek or Latin words.
