Which term describes a 'condition' indicated by the suffix '-iasis'?

  1. Joint

  2. Condition

  3. Eyelid

  4. Two

The correct answer is: Condition

The term that best describes a 'condition' indicated by the suffix '-iasis' is "condition." The suffix '-iasis' is commonly used in medical terminology to denote a pathological condition or disease state, particularly one that involves an abnormal state. For example, 'nephrolithiasis' refers to the condition of having kidney stones. In the context of this question, the other terms do not apply to the medical definition provided by '-iasis.' "Joint" relates to the anatomical structure where two bones meet, "eyelid" refers specifically to the fold of skin that covers the eye, and "two" is simply a numerical value. These terms do not convey the concept of a medical condition in the way that '-iasis' does. Therefore, the correct term reflecting the meaning of the suffix is indeed "condition."
