The best way to learn medical terminology is to become familiar with the structure and the most commonly used components. Basic Components of Medical Terms. Most medical terms consist of three basic components: root word (the base of the term), prefixes (letter groups in front of the root word) and suffixes (letter groups at the end of the root word). When placed together, these three components define a particular medical term.
Vicar general. A vicar general (previously, archdeacon) is the principal deputy of the bishop of a diocese for the exercise of administrative authority and possesses the title of local ordinary.
When someone is ordained a deacon or priest they are given the title 'Reverend' unless they are Roman Catholic and then they are usually given the title 'Father'. So any â¦ priest or deacon is a 'Reverend'.   However, some priests go on to become priests in charge of an area called a parish when they are termed 'vicars' (or, depending upon the history of the parish, sometimes 'rectors'). So a vicar is a priest that has a special administrative role.
