Term: pedo-, paedo-, and paediatrics or pediatrics

Definition:
The Greek ped- or paed- used in English is a shortened form of the Greek pais. Pediatrics or paediatrics is defined as the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents.
Runon derivatives :
orthopedic, orthopaedic (British), pedagogue or pedagog (schoolteacher) pedophilia, pedeia or paedeia (education or social culture), pederasty or paederasty, pediatrician or paediatrician, pedodontics.
comments:
1. Greek phycisian Soraneus from Ephesus in the 2nd century AD wrote the first known manuscript devoted to pediatrics
2. The British spelling is paed- while this in the United States is ped-. The most correct form is paed as in the Latin ped means "foot".
