What is the suffix of muscle?

The suffix of muscle is -muscle.

While it might seem like a simple answer, it's important to note that "-muscle" isn't used as a suffix in most medical terms. Instead, we use other suffixes like:

* -myo: This Greek root meaning "muscle" is often used in medical terms like "myopathy" (disease of the muscle) and "myocardium" (heart muscle).

* -sarco: This Greek root meaning "flesh" or "muscle" is used in terms like "sarcoma" (a type of cancer of the connective tissue) and "sarcolemma" (the membrane surrounding a muscle fiber).

So while "-muscle" can be used to describe something related to muscle, it's not the most common or precise suffix used in medical terminology.
