Paramedic Medical Terminology Practice Test

Which root means with, together?

Tachy Tel Sym Sub

Correct Answer:

Sym

Explanation:

The form that means with or together is sym-, a variant of the Greek syn- used before b, m, or p to ease pronunciation. It shows up in terms like symbiosis (two things living together), symmetry (things balanced together), and symptom (a sign that accompanies or comes with a disease). The other options don’t convey togetherness: tachy- means fast, tel- (or tele-) relates to distance or end, and sub- means under. So sym- is the one that specifically carries the idea of togetherness.
