Gandhi had a straightforward concern for animals. Nonviolence includes nonviolence towards animalsâthe devotee of ahimsa (or nonviolence) âshuns to the best of his ability the destruction of the tiniest creature.â He was a lacto-vegetarian, consuming goatâs milk, but resolutely avoided meat.
You should now know that -centesis means surgical puncture to remove fluid and is used in the term 'amniocentesis'. '-desis' is a suffix meaning surgical binding or surgical fixation, and it is used in the term arthrodesis. The other suffix that can also mean surgical fixation is '-pexy'.
The suffix is placed after the root of a word, the prefix before. So the root is what's left once suffixes, prefixes, and case endings have been taken away. In the case of the word enlargement, the root is enlarge. The suffix -ment refers to an action, or the result of an action. So enlargment denotes the action, or the result of the action, of getting larger.
