The term meaning 'shake' is.

• A. Cyan(o)
• B. Crypto
• C. Cuss
• D. Corp

Answer: (C)

Shake in medical terminology is described by roots that mean movement or trembling, especially trem- (as in tremor) or kines-/kinesio- (as in kinesiology, kinetic). The option cyan(o) denotes blue, crypto- denotes hidden, and corp- denotes body. None of these convey the idea of shaking or tremor. The key idea to take away is that movement-related terms come from trem- or kines-/kinesio-, so when you’re asked for a term meaning “shake,” look for those roots rather than color or concealment or body qualifiers.
