Topic/question posted on Sep 20, 2015 by Kalie Aiken
Root Words
Antiseptic is a word with two important parts. The prefix anti means against, and the root sepsis means poisoning. In other words, eugenol helps prevent poisoning.  What would you expect the word "anti-inflammatory" to mean if "inflammatory" has to do with something becoming swollen or inflamed?
