Which combining form means four?

Myc/o Aden/o Quadr/i Lip/o

Correct Answer:

Quadr/i

Explanation:

Quadr/i expresses the number four. It comes from Latin quadri- and is used as a combining form in terms like quadrilateral or quadriceps. The other roots point to different substances—myc/o means fungus, aden/o means gland, and lip/o means fat—so they don’t convey the idea of “four.”
