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,
FINIFUGAL —– of someone who tries to avoid or prolong the final moment of a story
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
FUMIFUGIST —- A person who, or something that, drives smoke or fumes away
INSECTIFUGE –— A substance or preparation for driving off or repelling insects
FUGUE —- a running away
FUGACIOUS —- tending to disappear, fleeting
FUGITIVE—- a person who has escaped from captivity or is in hiding
CASE II
ROOT —- OLIG-, OLIGO- means little, meager, tiny, infrequent
Now words we can guess of are –
OLIGACANTHOUS —- pertaining to having very few spines or sharp-pointed tips on stems or leaves
OLIGANDROUS — in botany, having fewer than twenty or having very paltry numbers of stamens
OLIGANTHOUS —– having a very limited number of flowers
OLIGARCH —- a member of a small number of those who are governing a country
OLIGARCHIC —– of, pertaining to, or of the nature of a small governmental organization
OLIGCARPOUS —- having few carpels or fruit
OLIGEMIA —- a deficiency in the amount of blood in the body or any organ or tissue
OLIGHYDRIA —- a state of decreased water content
OLIGOAEROBIC —- a reference to organisms that grow in conditions of low oxygen concentration
OLIGOAMNIOS —- the presence of a less than normal amount of amniotic fluid
I hope this session will help you with your English Language Preparation.We will come back soon with our next session.
