Arthritis is:
- A. Inflammation of joints
- B. Herniation of intervertebral disc
- C. Fusion of vertebral joint
- D. Tingling along the length of legs
Explanation
The word itself means inflammation of a joint, from arthron for joint and itis for inflammation, and it covers osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout despite their very different causes. A herniated disc is a slipped disc pressing on a nerve, which produces the tingling described in the last option. Reading the suffix is often enough with medical terms of this kind.
