Individuals experience difficulties when first faced with medical terms, which
are formed from Greek and Latin roots, since these terms have unusual
settings and structures with no associated connotations. This problem is
frequently seen among first-year medical students. Individuals pursuing a
medical education can solve this problem by using old familiar words to learn
new ones. Terms encountered for the first time can be learned by using the
meaning, connotation and simulation properties of previously known terms.
Such a learning method will be more permanent as well as more effective.
Learning medical terms using previously known words can be utilized as
a new method in educational life. In this study, we aimed to present this
new method with examples to contribute toward a more effective method
of teaching medical terms.
