About the Author

Cherie A. Plant is a graduate in Elementary Education with a minor in Latin from the City
University of New York, Cherie Plant is an accomplished etymologist (one who studies the origin
and derivation of words). While teaching, Plant found that children as young as seven were
fascinated with decoding words such as “triskaidekaphobia” (fear of the number 13) using the
knowledge of prefixes, suffixes, and root words.
Plant retired from teaching in 1995, but was convinced that other youngsters could benefit
from such study. She has since devoted her time to writing language materials for all age groups,
based on the study of Latin and Greek roots.

Word Roots Level 2 Introduction
Introduction
“Words play an enormous part in our lives and are therefore deserving of the closest study ...”
- Aldous Huxley
Word Roots is designed to help students expand their spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension
skills. Word Roots is a uniquely designed and challenging workbook based on the word elements:
roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The roots used in this book originate from both the Latin and Greek
languages—the foundation of much of our English language.
Roots, prefixes, and suffixes are the building blocks upon which all words are formed. A
thorough knowledge of these elements will greatly enhance one’s vocabulary and improve one’s
understanding of otherwise unfamiliar words. For example, understanding the meaning of the
roots pyr, ject, err, and capit would enable one to comprehend numerous words made from
combinations of these elements, such as the following:
pyromania reject errant capital
pyrogenic adjective error per capita
pyrometric trajectory erratic recapitulation
pyrography projectile aberration capitulate
A single Latin or Greek root can be the basis for many words in the English language. The
significance of this lies in the fact that with every new root learned, the resulting growth of one’s
vocabulary can be truly astounding—and Word Roots provides the tools.
Etymology
Etymology is the study of the origin and the historical development of words. It explains the
earliest known use of a word, its transition from one language to another, and how it changed in
form and meaning over time. Therefore, when reference is being made to “the etymology of a
word,” it means the origin of that particular word.
The word etymology itself is derived from the Greek word etymologia. The root etymon
means true and the suffix -logia means the study of. Etymon is also used in English to refer
to the root of a given word. For example, the Latin word candidus, which means pure, white,
sincere, is the etymon of the English word candid which means honest, frank.
The Difference Between the Definition of a Word and the Etymology of a Word
The definition of a word tells us what a word means and how it is currently used. The
etymology of a word tells us where a word came from, which was often from another language,
and what it once meant.
For example, the dictionary definition of the word disaster is any happening that causes great
harm or damage; serious or sudden misfortune; a catastrophe. However, the etymology of the
word disaster refers back to the time when people would blame great calamities on the influence
of the stars.
Through etymology we discover that in the late 16th century, Shakespeare used the word in
the play King Lear. It was derived from the Old Italian word disastro, which meant unfavorable
to one’s stars.
This antiquated, astrological reference to the word disaster is easier to understand when we
study the Latin root, astr, meaning star, which is also in our modern word astronomy. When the
Latin prefix dis-, meaning apart, opposite of, is added to the root astr, the word (in Old Italian,
Latin, and Middle French) conveyed the idea that a catastrophe was traceable to the evil influence
of a star (a definition that is now obsolete in modern dictionaries). The definitions of many words
© 2018 The Critical Thinking Co.™ • www.CriticalThinking.com • 800-458-4849 iii

have changed over time, and the older meanings have slowly disappeared.
Another example is the English word salary, which is defined in the dictionary as fixed
payment to a person at regular intervals for services rendered. The word’s etymology can be
traced back 2,000 years to the Latin word sal, meaning salt.
There doesn’t seem to be much of a connection between the English word salary and the
Latin word for salt. However, by means of etymology we discover that in ancient Rome, part of a
Roman soldier’s pay was with salt, which was widely used as a food preservative back then.
Over time, the word sal evolved into the word salarium which signified compensation paid in
any form, usually monetary. This expression is still used today, “worth your salt,” which essentially
means a person is hard working and earning his salary. Nonetheless, this is only an expression
and it doesn’t mean that salt is the true definition of salary.
Why Knowledge of the Origin of a Word Is Important

Although the English language derives from Old English or Anglo-Saxon, the majority of the
words used in modern English have evolved from many languages, mainly Latin and Greek.
Knowing the language of origin for a word is an invaluable tool when it comes to the correct
spelling of a word (orthography). As an example, knowing that the sound of /f/ in a word of Greek
origin is spelled with a ph will help you to correctly spell words such as biography, photograph,
and telephone.
Also, knowing that the root for ten is spelled deka in Greek, but is spelled dec/deca in Latin
will help with the spelling of words of Greek origin, such as dekan and triskaidekaphobia, and
words of Latin origin, such as decimal, decagon, and duodecennial.
Why Words Are Fun

Knowing how words have evolved over time can teach you a great deal about our culture.
Studying the etymology of familiar words can help you deduce the meanings of unfamiliar words,
thus enriching your vocabulary. Lastly, hearing stories about the history of words can be very
interesting, exciting, and thought provoking.

Definitions of Root, Prefix, and Suffix
A root is the element (part) that gives the basic meaning of the word. In this book, the term
root refers to the original Latin or Greek word. An English word may have two or more roots in it.
Identifying these roots can help you to define a word you don’t know.
A prefix is an element that is added to the beginning of a root. The prefix adds to or alters the
meaning of the word.
Prefix: re- means back, again
Prefix: circum- means around
Root: flex means bend
re- + flex = reflex: bent, turned, or directed back
circum- + flex = circumflex: bending around; curved
A suffix is an element added to the end of a root. The suffix adds to or alters the meaning of
the word.
Root: lingu means language, tongue
Suffixes: -ist means one who; -al means like, related to
lingu + -ist = linguist: one who specializes in language
lingu + -al = lingual: of or relating to the tongue

Words and Word Parts
The information below will help you identify the word elements (parts).
• Some roots do not need a prefix or suffix to form a word.
act, tract, script, herb
• A word can have more than one root.
manu + script = manuscript
• A word can have more than one prefix.
in- + e- + lig + -ible = ineligible
• A word can have a prefix and a suffix.
re- + puls + -ive = repulsive
• A word can have more than one suffix
funct + -ion + -less = functionless
• In some words, connecting vowels and/or consonants are used to join word parts or to
complete a word. For the sake of simplicity, connecting vowels and consonants used to
join word parts or to complete words will appear in gray.
herb + i + cide = herbicide
fer + t + -ile = fertile
medi- + at + -or = mediator
de- + scribe = describe
• In some cases, to help smooth the sound of the spoken word, a vowel is added to a
root. This vowel (usually an o), is referred to as a connecting vowel, and the modified
root is called a combining form. For example, the root hydr uses the connecting vowel
o to produce the combining form hydro, which then combines with the root electr and
the suffix -ic to form the word hydroelectric. In the lessons an asterisk (*) is used to
indicate if a root is a combining form.
hydr + o = hydro (combining form)
hydro + electr + -ic = hydroelectric
• Some roots are considered to be combining forms, yet do not follow the general rule.
The last letter of a root or suffix may be dropped when a suffix is added.
mob + -ile + -ity –ile drops the e = mobility
