💡'hist.' is a written abbreviation only; use the full word 'history' or 'historical' in speech and most writing.

釋義

組織

與生物組織相關的構詞成分

a word element meaning tissue, used at the beginning of scientific and medical terms to describe something related to the body's cells and the material they form — for example in histology (the study of tissues), histamine (a chemical released by tissues), or histopathology (the study of diseased tissue).

例句

The histology lab examined tissue samples under microscopes for signs of disease.

組織學實驗室用顯微鏡檢查組織樣本，尋找疾病的跡象。

histo- + -logy = study of tissues

Ryo studied histopathology after watching a documentary about cancer cells.

Ryo 看了一部關於癌細胞的紀錄片後，開始研究組織病理學。

histo- + -pathology = study of diseased tissue

同義詞

histo-
Alternative spelling used before a vowel (e.g. histamine, histochemistry); slightly less common than 'hist-' overall.
tissue
The equivalent standalone English noun; 'hist-' is used only in compounds, whereas 'tissue' is a free-standing word.

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.

常見錯誤

❌Histology is the study of historical events.

✅Histology is the study of body tissues.

💡despite looking like 'history', histology comes from Greek histos (tissue), not from historia (inquiry).

❌The doctor ordered a hist test.

✅The doctor ordered a histology test.

💡'hist-' cannot stand alone; it must attach to a suffix to form a complete word.
