Answer:

Those built from word parts

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is that word parts are usually already known. Therefore, they're already in your mind, you just need to learn the association. Also, usually, medical terms built from word parts provide clues as to what the word means based on each word parts' individual meaning.
