What does the prefix "end/o-" mean?

Outside
Middle
Right
In; within

The correct answer is: In; within

The prefix "end/o-" signifies "in" or "within." This prefix is derived from the Greek word "endon," which conveys the idea of something being situated inside or within a particular area or structure. In medical terminology, this can relate to various contexts, such as endoscopy, where a camera is inserted inside the body for examination, indicating the internal aspect of the procedure. Understanding this prefix is important in various medical contexts, particularly when interpreting terms or procedures that involve internal parts of the body. The other choices do not accurately represent the meaning of "end/o-," as they refer to different positional terms that do not align with the concept of being inside or within something.
