Roots of English – 11

Dear Readers,

Here we are with our 11th session of our Roots of English hope this will help you with your English language preparation.

English language is made up of four parts

GREEK ROOTS, GERMAN ROOTS, FRENCH ROOTS, LATIN ROOTS

Now if you learn these roots you can figure out the meaning of hundreds of English language words without even knowing their exact meaning.

The first question arises here is what is a root?

A root is the part of the word which gives instructions to a word. Now how many parts is a word made of?

A word is made up of three parts.

For ex– subtracted

Sub (prefix) ——–tract (root) ———-ed (suffix)

Note: PREFIX—a word, letter or number placed before another.

SUFFIX—a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning.

CASE I

Consider FUG as a ROOT means drive away, flee, fly, run away, cheat

Now with the help of this one root you can come out with conclusion of several other English words. Such as,

subterfuge —— deceit used in order to achieve one’s goal

refuge –— a place or situation providing safety or shelter who ran away

febrifugal —– Mitigating or removing fever

centrifuge —– subject to the action that applies centrifugal force

febrifuge —– A medicine adapted to drive away or to reduce fever

insectifuge –— A substance or preparation for driving off or repelling insects

fugue —-

fugacious —-

fugitive —-

ROOT —- FA or FESS means speak, quality, character

Now words we can guess of are –

CONFABULATION —- the act of having a conversation or a discussion.

INEFFABLE — incapable of being expressed in words.

INFAMY —– shameful or criminal conduct or character

DEFAME —- to attack someone or someone’s reputation, character, or good name by making slanderous or libelous statements.
