This is obviously a hard one to cover the breadth of type-ins for, and I rated it 5 stars, but could you at least accept "removal" for -ectomy

Good idea; not sure why I neglected to include that initially. I'm adding this along with several others for the more difficult ones.

Could you accept "write" or "writing" for "-graphy", seeing how that is the actual etymology?

Added, among several others. (:

Would you consider accepting "cause" as well as "Produced by, origin" for -genic?

"Inflammation" is the actual listed answer. The quiz would not be allowed to be live if the actual answer wasn't an acceptable type-in. "Inflammation" is the first listed type-in, alongside "swelling", "swollen", and "inflame".
