I) Why study Greek word elements?

English contains a substantial and growing number of words derived from Greek. Some of these words are general words in everyday use, e.g., authentic, chronological, economical, homogeneous, etc. Others are used in specialized fields. Certainly you have heard terms like antibiotic, orthopedic, and pediatrician in the field of medicine; astronaut, protoplasm; and thermonuclear in science and autonomous, demagogue, andprotocol in government. These important words, and others like them in this unit, are constructed from Greek word elements. Once you know what a particular word element means, you have a clue to the meaning of words derived from it. When, for example, you have learned that PAN or PANTO means complete or all,

you are better able to understand and remember that a panacea is a remedy, for all ills, a panorama is a complete and unobstructed view in all directions, and a pantomime is all gestures and signs, i.e., a performance without words.

II)

Purpose of this unit: This unit aims to exchange your vocabulary by acquainting you with twenty Greek words elements and some English words derived from them. As you study each word group, make it a special point to memorize the meaning of the word element so that you will be able to recognize it in derivatives.
