Split It, Then Pluralize It

A digestive symptom term is never one long word — it is two, three or five small ones parked end to end. Click the boundaries to cut a term apart, then match every piece to its meaning; the wrong meanings on offer are the real look-alikes, so -phagia, -phasia and -plasia all show up. Then switch modes and turn the Latin singulars on a chart into the plurals that mark you as fluent.
