Is polyuria a suffix or prefix?

"Polyuria" is neither a suffix nor a prefix. It is a complete word meaning excessive urination.

Here's why:

* Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning (e.g., "un-", "pre-", "re-").

* Suffixes are word parts added to the end of a word to modify its meaning or grammatical function (e.g., "-ing", "-ly", "-ness").

"Polyuria" is formed from the Greek words "poly" (meaning "many" or "much") and "ouron" (meaning "urine").
