neur
This ROOT-WORD is NEUR which comes from the Greek neuron which means NERVE. The most subtle and evasive of diseases are the NEURological (No. 11) ones. If we studied NEURophysiology, the physiology of the nervous system, we would know more about NEURism (No. 6) and know how to prevent NEURoses (plural of No. 15), and be better equipped to avoid NEURoticism (No. 17).
