Question

question 5 (multiple choice worth 4 points) (04.05rr lc) when examining the term \parkinsons disease,\ the term \parkinsons\ applies as the ______ for this condition. prefix root word suffix eponym

Explanation:

An eponym is a term derived from a person's name. Parkinson's Disease is named after James Parkinson, so "Parkinson's" is an eponym. A prefix is added before a root word, a suffix after, and a root word is the base; these don't fit here.

Answer:

D. eponym
