Osteoporosis: how to spell

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a long word... so just breaks it down to:

Os  teo  poro  sis

Then, join four chunks into two parts:

Osteo + porosis

Memory work is eased by having less than 5 letters in one chunk.


Understanding the meaning is also make easy this way:

Osteo- (prefix): Combining form meaning bone. From the Greek "osteon", bone.

porosis: a porous condition of bonesSomething that is porous has many small holes in it.
