Compromise of a nerve root essentially means that the bones in the spine are pressing against a nerve in a manner that is not normal. This pressure typically results in pain.

Spinal nerve.....
The Greek root meaning nerve is "neur" or "neuro", which is commonly used in words related to the nervous system or nerve function.
Nerve root effacement refers to nerve root compression. This is an issue where the root of the nerve is compressed into the spine before exiting it, which can cause some painful back symptoms.
The root word meaning "nerve" is "neur-" from the Greek word "neuron" meaning sinew or nerve.
Neur- is the word root for neuritis, meaning inflammation of a nerve.
A nerve root diverticula is an abnormal outpouching of the spinal nerve root sleeve, which is the covering of the nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. This can sometimes cause irritation or compression of the nerve root, leading to symptoms such as radiating pain or weakness. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
Vagotomy is the medical term meaning surgical incision of the vagus nerve.
I found this page to be helpful.http://gme.chm.msu.edu/musclenervedb.htmIt tells where each root nerve goes and what it does.
Nerve root sleeve truncation refers to the surgical procedure that involves the removal or alteration of the nerve root sleeve, which is the protective sheath surrounding a spinal nerve root. This procedure is often performed to relieve pressure on the nerve caused by conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Truncation can help alleviate pain and restore function by reducing inflammation and improving nerve mobility.
Disease of nerve roots is called radiculopathy. nerve root is part of the nerve that exits from spinal cord. radiculopathy can be caused by disc or some diseases like diabetes can cause inflammation of nerve root.
