A:
Answer:EsophagoscopyStep-by-step explanation:In medical terminology roots, suffices and prefixes in Latin and ancient greek are commonly used to describe symptoms, deceases, etc. this terminology is achieved thanks to Etymology, the study of the history of the words, the origin of them. Usually refixes don't require further modification to be added to a word root because the prefix normally ends in a vowel or vowel sound, suffixes are attached to the end of a word root to add meaning such as condition, disease process, or procedure. Taking this into account we look for the Latin of viewing from the ancient Greek, "scopeo", wich means, "to see", and then modify it as a termination suffix "-scopy"  and finally, we unify both words into one: esophagoscopyI hope you find this information useful and interesting!
