ROOT WORDS

In this article, we learn how we can improve our vocabulary easily by developing tricks. We make use of a technique known as ETYMOLOGY.

Review of Etymology:

Prefix, Root, Suffix
	Negative prefix

Note: 

• Ends with y = noun 
• Ends with ist = noun 
• Ends with ic = adjective 
• Ends with al = adjective or noun 
• Ends with ity, ty = noun 
• Ends with ism = noun 
• Ends with ize = verb 

Trick to learn words:

•  In order of time = chonos (time) + logos (study) + al (pertaining to) = chronological 
•  Out of place = in (negative prefix) + con (with, together) + ous (Possessing, full of) = incongruous 
•  Out of time = ana (negative prefix) + chronos (time) + ous (Possessing, full of) or ic (pertaining to) = anachronous or anachronistic 
•  Something, or state of being, out of place = in (negative prefix) + congrous (suitable) + ity (condition or quality of) = incongruity 
•  Lack of feeling = a (negative prefix) + pathy (feeling) = apathy 
•  Study of disease = pathos (disease) + logy (study) = pathology 
•  Measurer of time = chronos (time) + metron (measurement) = chronometer 
•  Feeling of dislike = anti (against) + pathos (feeling) = antipathy 
•  To occur, or cause to occur, at the same time or rate = syn (with, together) + chronos (time) + ize (verb suffix to make) = synchronize 
•  Evoking sorrow or pity = pathos (feeling) + ic (pertaining to) = pathetic 
•  Something out of time = ana (negative prefix) + chronos (time) + ism (condition) = anachronism 
•  State of recurring again and again = chronos (time) + ity (condition or quality of) = chronocity 
•  Extrasensory perception = tele (distance) + pathy (disease) = telepathy 
•  One who examines tissue to diagnose disease = pathos (disease) + logos (study) + ist (a person who practices, is expert in) = pathologist 
•  Identification with the feelings of another = em (in) + pathos (feeling) = empathy 
•  Happening at the same time or rate = syn (with, together) + chronos (time) + ous (Possessing, full of) = synchronous 
•  Skilful at thought transference without sensory communication = tele (distance) + pathos (disease) + ic (pertaining to) = telepathic 
•  Calendar of events in time sequence = chronos (time) + logy (study) = chronology 
•  Referring to the measurement of time = chronos (time) + metron (measurement) + ic (pertaining to) = chronometric. 
•  Share another’s feelings so strongly as to experience those feelings oneself = em (in) + pathos (feeling) + ize (verb suffix, to make) = empathize.
