How Inflamed
Surface Forms
Morphology
dermatitis = dermat + itis
Built from the combining form 'dermat-' (skin) + medical suffix '-itis' (inflammation); formation is regular in medical vocabulary but the combining form is not a standalone English word, so learners without medical exposure may not fully deduce the meaning.
Etymology
The word dermatitis comes from the Greek parts derma 'skin' and -itis 'inflammation', the same -itis you see in appendicitis or tonsillitis. So dermatitis literally means 'skin inflammation', which is why it describes a red, itchy, or sore skin condition.
