Abstract

Medical terminology, a fundamental component of healthcare communication, has its roots in ancient Greek and Latin. Greek medical scholars, including Hippocrates and Galen, laid the foundation for medical language, while Latin facilitated the standardization and dissemination of medical knowledge. The structural consistency of these classical languages enables precise descriptions of diseases, anatomical structures, and medical procedures. The study highlights how Greek and Latin terminology continues to evolve, adapting to advancements in medical science while maintaining its linguistic heritage.
