The term "aortitis" can be deconstructed by separating the root from the suffix as follows: aort-itis.

Explanation:

  • "Aort" is the root of the word, referring to the aorta, which is the main artery that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
  • "-itis" is the suffix, which indicates inflammation. In medical terminology, it is commonly used to denote an inflammatory condition.

Therefore, "aortitis" refers to the inflammation of the aorta.
