What is the combining vowel?

Combining vowels exist between parts of many words. For example, take the word "gastroenterology." The beginning gastr is a root meaning "stomach." Enter is another root meaning "intestines." When the two roots are put together, the combining vowel "o" is put in to separate them.On the other hand, in "gastritis" there is no combining vowel because gastr is followed not by another root but by the suffix itis, and that suffix starts with a vowel.
