The suffix "itis" refers to inflammation, which results from a variety of reasons. Tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendons, which result from a variety of reasons, mostly overuse. Tendons are used to connect bone to muscle, and when the action of pulling the muscle becomes irritating, it becomes inflamed. Even if the tendon is avascular, it can still become inflamed due to overuse.
