What is the root word suffix and prefix for gonorrhea?

The word "gonorrhea" doesn't have a clear prefix, suffix, or root word in the way many medical terms do. It's derived from the Greek word "gonorrhoia", which means "flow of seed".

Here's a breakdown:

* "gon" is the Greek word for "seed" (referring to semen).

* "rrhea" is a suffix in medical terms that means "flow" or "discharge".

So, "gonorrhea" literally means "flow of seed", referencing the discharge associated with the infection.
