First, prefixes and suffixes, most of which are derived from ancient Greek or classical Latin, have a droppable vowel, usually -o-. As a general rule, this vowel almost always acts as a joint-stem to connect two consonantal roots (e.g. arthr- + -o- + -logy = arthrology ), but generally, the -o- is dropped when connecting to a vowel-stem (e.g ...

The brachioradialis is a superficial, fusiform muscle on the lateral side of the forearm. It originates proximally on the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.It inserts distally on the radius, at the base of its styloid process. [3]
Anatomical terminology follows a regular morphology, with consistent prefixes and suffixes are used to modify different roots. The root of a term often refers to an organ or tissue . For example, the Latin name musculus biceps brachii can be broken down: musculus meaning muscle, biceps meaning "two-headed", and brachii referring to the arm ...
In anatomy, a styloid process (from Greek stylos (στῦλος), "pillar"), usually serving as points of attachment for muscles, refers to the slender, pointed process (protrusion) of: temporal bone of the skull - Temporal styloid process; radius bone of the lower arm - Radial styloid process; ulna bone of the lower arm - Ulnar styloid process
The temporal styloid process is a slender bony process of the temporal bone extending downward and forward from the undersurface of the temporal bone [1] just below the ear. [citation needed] The styloid process gives attachments to several muscles, and ligaments.
