What does the suffix “trophy” refer to in medical terminology?

  1. Decrease

  2. Disorder

  3. Growth

  4. Removal

The correct answer is: Growth

The suffix "trophy" refers to growth in medical terminology. This suffix is commonly used in medical terms to refer to the nourishment, development, or increase in size of a specific organ or body part. Option A is incorrect because "decrease" is the opposite of growth. Option B is incorrect because "disorder" does not relate to the concept of growth. Option D is incorrect because "removal" typically does not involve growth, but rather the opposite. It is important to pay attention to the suffixes in medical terminology as they can provide valuable information about the meaning of a word.
