Question 11

To determine the literal meaning of "Ankylosis", we analyze the word's roots. "Ankylo-" comes from Greek meaning "crooked, stiff, bent" and "-osis" means "condition". So we match this to the option with "crooked, stiff, bent/condition".

We recall medical combining forms: "kypho-" refers to hump or hunchback (kyphosis is hunchback - related), "scolio-" is for lateral curvature, "kinesio-" for movement, "lordo-" for swayback. So the correct combining form for "hump or hunchback" is "kypho-".

Answer:

crooked, stiff, bent/condition
