ADVERTISEMENTS
In addition to root words, one must learn prefixes and suffixes, to enhance his vocabulary levels.
Prefixes and suffixes are two elements that can be attached to roots to form words.
Suffixes can be attached at the ends of roots to modify either the definition or the part of speech
(noun, verb, adjective, etc.) of the word. So, suffixes can modify verbs into nouns, nouns into
adjectives, and so on. To create words, put a root jointly with either a suffix or prefix.
Examples: photo (root for light) + graph (suffix for written) = photograph (light that is written)
re (prefix for again) + flect (root for bend) = reflect (to bend again) Perhaps, these may appear as
funny methods to define the words "photograph" and "reflect." This is because when we use
Latin to define words, we use very direct, literal translations.
These translations might sound funny, but there's always a clue there that shows what the true
meaning is in English.
Prefixes and suffixes help us in forming new words and enlarge our vocabulary.
