The root "gloss-" pertains to the tongue. This term is derived from the Greek word "glossa," which directly translates to "tongue." In medical terminology, it is often used in words related to the structure, function, or conditions of the tongue, such as "glossitis" (inflammation of the tongue) or "glossophobia" (fear of speaking, stemming from anxiety related to the tongue and speech).

The other options do not share this linguistic connection. The term for nervous sensation relates more closely to roots like "neuro-" for nerves, while "stomach" corresponds to "gastro-," and "genitals" typically involve the root "genit-" or "gonad-," which do not overlap with "gloss-."
