About the Author

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 3 Introduction

Introduction
“To be a power one must know how to use language;
and how can you place words together unless you know
their derivation and their real meaning?”
— Henry Kraemer

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. Note that the roots used in this book originate from the Greek
language—the foundation of much of our English language.

These copyrighted pages are digitally coded with a unique buyer identifier. Distribution is prohibited.
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 scop, phon, tele, peri, and meter would enable one to comprehend many words made from
combinations of these elements, such as the following:
telephone phonic periscopic telescope
telemetry phonometer perimeter periscope
telescopic telephonic telemeter phonoscope
Even more dramatically, the Greek root hydr is the basis for nearly fifty words in English. 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 a word. 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 in 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 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

Word Roots Level 3 Introduction

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
have changed over time, and the older meanings have slowly disappeared.
Another example is our 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 our 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. We still hear the expression 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 our 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 of 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 that gives the basic meaning of the word. In this book, the term root
refers to the original 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: ant- means against, opposite
Prefix: syn- means with or together
Root: onym means name or word
ant- + onym = antonym: a word that is opposite in meaning
syn- + onym = synonym: a word that is similar in meaning

*Note: In this book, all roots are Greek in origin. Prefixes and suffixes may be either Latin or Greek.

Word Roots Level 3 Introduction

A suffix is an element added to the end of a root. The suffix adds to or alters the meaning of
the word.
Root: dermato means skin
Suffix: -logy means study of, science
Suffix: -ist means one who
Suffix: -ic means like, related to
dermato + -logy = dermatology: study of the skin
dermato + -logy + -ist = dermatologist: one who studies skin
dermato + -logy + -ic = dermatologic: related to the study of skin
Words such as bicentric and symmetric have both a prefix and a suffix joined to the root.

Word 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
