This is a website that assist in understanding medical terms. The site is sponsored by Merck &
Company (1995-2009). The article states that knowing the meaning of a small number of components can help with the interpretation of a large number of medical terms. The site is easy to follow and provides a list of common medical prefixes, roots and suffixes. The site is not referenced but does have a contact for Merck. The last revision on the site was February 2003.

I can see where this site could be useful to the public. Because Merck is a recognizable name I feel that people would feel confident from what they learned from the site.
