The combing vowel connects the root to the suffix in a word, helping to create a grammatically correct form. It is also known as a linking vowel and assists in the overall pronunciation and understanding of the word.

A combining vowel.
A combining form consists of a root word to which a combining vowel has been added. It can also include a prefix or suffix. Combining forms are used in medical terminology to create words that describe a specific condition, procedure, or body part.

A combining vowel does not change the meaning of a medical term; instead, it facilitates pronunciation and connects word parts. Typically, the combining vowel "o" is used when linking a root word to a suffix or another root. For example, in "cardiology," the combining vowel "o" helps connect "cardio" (heart) and "logy" (study). Thus, while it aids in the flow of speech, it doesn't alter the fundamental meaning of the term.

The UI vowel pair in fruit has the long U (long OO) vowel sound, as in root and boot.
A combining vowel is never used when the suffix begins with a vowel. For example, in medical terminology, when attaching a suffix like "-itis" (inflammation) to a root word that ends in a vowel, the combining vowel is omitted. Additionally, it is not used when connecting two root words that already end and begin with vowels, allowing for a smooth transition without the need for an added 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.
