3. How to Derive a Plural in Medical Terminology

By Beverley Henderson, Jennifer Lee Dorsey

Medical plurals are a bit different from the standard, everyday English variety. There are a few rules that can help you derive a plural the medical way. Read on to familiarize yourself with the nuances of medical plural building.

Medical rules for forming plurals

Some rules for pluralizing medical terms are as follows, with examples of the rule and exceptions to the rule.

Medical Rule 1: Change the a ending to ae

In other words, vertebra becomes vertebrae.

By adding the e to the plural, the "aah" sound ending pronunciation becomes "eh."

Medical Rule 2: Change the um ending to a

The a at the end is pronounced "aah."

Medical Rule 3: Change the us ending to i

The i at the end is pronounced "eye."

The exceptions to this rule include the following:

Medical Rule 4: Change the is ending to es

The es is pronounced "eez."

The exceptions to this rule are

Medical Rule 5: Change the ma or oma ending to mata

In the Rule 5 examples, the English plural is also acceptable: condylomas, carcinomas, leiomyomas, and fibromas.

Medical Rule 6: When a term ends in yx, ax, or ix, change the x to c and add es

Medical Rule 7: When a term ends in nx, change the x to g and add es

Medical Rule 8: For Latin medical terms that consist of a noun and adjective, pluralize both terms

Condyloma acuminatum, condylomata acuminata

Placenta previa, placentae previae

Verruca vulgaris, verrucae vulgares

There are (of course!) some exceptions to all these rules:
