Root Explanation

Anuretic is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "uretic" (from Greek "ourētikos", meaning relating to urine). The word describes a condition or substance that is without urine production or inhibits urine formation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'without' ('a-') and 'urine' ('uretic') to remember that anuretic refers to something that inhibits urine production.
