Medical Terminology is easier to acquire if memorizaion is replaced by understanding. Pandora's Word Box offers a consistent and computer friendly style compiled by a single author (W. Wertelecki, M.D.). The software draws from extensive encyclopedic dictionary like contents with and emphasis on word connections or etymology drawn from any language, mythology and other sources needed to show the roots and ideas in medical and biomedical nomeclature.

As a strategy to help students gain vocabulary and prep for better verbal scores, the computer search engine displays "a word of the day" or seeks a term at any time. Etymology expanded by ideas in words makes professional life easier and richer. It is also fun for linguaphiles to gaze at unexpected dimensions as for instance found in

media - intermediary - medic - medicine    and related ideas in
measure - meditate - meddler - medium - the goddess Meditrina - medulla
