Which term is used to refer to 'skin'?

  1. Dermat-

  2. Dextr-

  3. Dactyl-

  4. De-

The correct answer is: Dermat-

The correct term used to refer to 'skin' is indeed dermat-. This prefix is derived from the Greek word "derma," which means skin. In medical terminology, it is commonly encountered in terms related to skin conditions and treatments, such as dermatology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. The other terms provided do not relate to skin. Dextr- usually refers to sweetness or dextrins in chemistry. Dactyl- pertains to fingers or digits, often used in medical terms to describe conditions involving fingers or toes. De- is a prefix meaning "down," "away," or "reverse," and is not specifically associated with skin. Therefore, dermat- clearly stands out as the appropriate term for 'skin.'
