Which suffix indicates a disease?

• A. Disease
• B. Condition
• C. Development
• D. Record

Answer: (A)

In medical terminology, a term ends with a label that names the illness itself. When the word disease is added after a root, it marks the term as a pathological condition—clearly indicating a disease rather than a general state or other idea. So using the suffix “disease” signals that what’s being described is a disease state, not a broad condition, a developmental process, or a record. The other options describe general concepts or documentation, and do not specifically name a disease.
