Root Explanation

Cardiological → It is formed from "cardio-" (from Greek "kardia", meaning heart) and "-logical" (from Greek "logia", meaning study or science). The word "cardiological" refers to the study or science of the heart.

Memory Tip

Think of 'kardia' meaning heart, and 'logia' meaning study — so cardiological is all about the study of the heart.
