Yes, medical terms are often built using prefixes (added to the beginning of a root Word) and suffixes (added to the end of a root Word. For example, "cardi-" is a prefix meaning heart, and "-itis" is a suffix meaning inflammation. Putting them together gives you "carditis," which means inflammation of the heart.
