用法筆記
Only appears as part of a compound word — never used alone. The spelling is 'hist-' before a consonant (histology) and 'histo-' before a vowel or in some established terms (histamine). If you encounter an unfamiliar word beginning with 'hist-', check whether it relates to tissue (from Greek histos) or to history (from Greek historia) — the two roots are unrelated.
