Explanation:

• Question 7: A prefix is added to the start of a word - root to change its meaning. A compound term is a combination of two or more words, a suffix is added at the end of a word - root, and a modifier can be various parts of speech that change the meaning but is not specifically attached to the start of a word - root.
• Question 8: The word "catheter" comes from the Greek "kathienai" which means "to let down, into".
