Turkic roots of 679 medical terms in Latin, English
The majority of medical terms are Turkish rooted for two reasons:
1- Turkish or proto-Turkish is the founding language of Western languages. I tried to provethis in my previous articles here.
2- Turkic peoples and the first physicians among them contributed greatly to the establishment of the medical discipline and the development of medicine.
The Turkish roots of many of the basic medical terms originate from this practice and information. Here I am explaining the Turkish roots of about 679 medical terms. This includes words related to human organs and health.
