Question
Can someone help me get started with this? If you were to break down the terms, "cervical", "mastoid", and "ethmoid"; how might those word parts look? What would be the definitions for each word part?
I am not understanding what break down means?

Many words, especially scientific terms, come the ancient Greek or Latin languages. To break down a word, you find out what the different parts mean. For instance, "cervical" comes from the Latin <i>cervic</i>, meaning "neck."

Look the other words up in a dictionary to find their origin or etymology.
