Root Explanation

Neoplasticist → It is formed from "neo-" (meaning new) and "plasticus" (from Greek "plastikos", meaning capable of being shaped or molded) and the suffix "-ist" (meaning one who practices or is concerned with). The word refers to a person who specializes in new formations or developments, particularly in the context of cells or tissues.

Memory Tip

Think of 'new' ('neo-') and 'shaping' ('plasticus') to remember that a neoplasticist is someone who works with new formations, especially in biology.
