One disease condition of the gastrointestinal tract is diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is inflammation or infection of small pouches (diverticula) that form in the digestive system, particularly in the colon. The term “diverticul-” serves as the combining form, the suffix “-itis” indicates inflammation, and there is no prefix. Etymologically, “diverticul-” comes from the Latin word “diverticulum,” meaning a small channel or pouch. Officially, the term “diverticulitis” is defined as the inflammation and infection of diverticula, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits (Mobile Medical Dictionary).
