Which term means to walk?

• A. Adrenalectomy
• B. Adrenopathy
• C. Alimentary
• D. Amulate

Answer: (D)

Understanding word roots helps you see meaning quickly. The concept here is recognizing that “ambul-” or “ambulat-” comes from Latin for walking. A term formed with that root typically means related to walking. Ambulate is the verb form meaning to walk, and ambulation is the act of walking. So the option that resembles ambulate is the one that means to walk. The other terms point to different body systems: adrenal glands (adrenalectomy is removing an adrenal gland; adrenopathy is adrenal disease) or the digestive tract (alimentary). While the spelling in the option isn’t the standard form, it clearly aligns with the meaning related to walking, making it the best fit.
