Etymologizing a couple of sentences and then discussing Biological terms in regards to Longevity (Telomere, mitosis, chondrosarcoma, mitochondria, etc.)
There was an unexpected reward when the vaccine turned out to be polyvalent and worked against several diseases. POLY-. Is that a prefix? No, it’s a base, a Greek base, meaning “many, much.” Next element? VAL-, a Latin base meaning “be strong, be worthy.” Last element? The suffix -ent, meaning “-ing,” so this word is what part of speech? An adjective. And what do you think it means? Construct an etymological definition: “being strong (i.e. effective) in many (i.e. multiple) ways,” which implies a vaccine that “counteracts more than one toxin or microorganism.” Be sure, however, that the first word of your definition ends in -ing. This is an adjective: “counteracting more than one toxin…”
The real tragedy is that drug use by women in this social class accounts for so many perinatal mortalities. A Greek prefix, peri- (“around, near”). Then what? A Latin base, NAT- (“be born”). And the last element? The suffix -al (“pertaining to”), which means this word is what part of speech? An adjective: “pertaining to being around being born.” The implication is clearly the time of birth. So, what’s the definition? Remember to make it an adjective. “Occurring at or around the time of birth.”
Con + tempor + ary - “with” + “tempor, temporis”
Tempo - the speed at which a passage of music is or should be played.
Co + habitation =
Co + labor + ate = to work together
Con + solidate = to bring together with
Con + done = give with/together
Solidarity = support or sympathy

Telomere - a compound structure at the end of a chromosome.
Telophase - the final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
Mitosis - a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Mitochondria - POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
Chondromalcia patellae (genitive form of Patella) - degeneration of cartilage in the knee, usually caused by excessive wear between the patella and lower end of the femur.
Chondrosarcoma - a type of bone cancer that develops in cartilage cells.
