KembaraXtra - Medical Terms - a- (an-)
The prefix a- or an- is used in medical terminology to indicate absence, lack, or deficiency. When placed before a word, it changes the meaning to “without” or “not.” For example, amastia means absence of the breasts, amorphic describes something lacking definite shape, and atoxic means not poisonous.
