Antonyms: Root words

Do you remember your Greek mythology? What about Latin words? If so, you are in luck, because many -- if not most -- of the words in the English language have Greek and/or Latin origins, and so knowledge about these ancient languages will be of great help. If you don't know anything about Greek or Latin, then don't worry, as here we provide you with several words or Greek and Latin word fragments which appear time and time again in English words.

More formally, the study and knowledge of root words enables you to decipher the meaning of a word. Used in conjunction with prefixes and suffixes, it's often easy to arrive at the meaning of a seemingly strange word.

For example, the root word audit means to hear, and used in conjunction with the prefix in, which means without, or used with the suffix able, which means capable, it is very easy to decipher the meaning of inaudible, which means not able to be heard, or audible which means able to be heard. Yes, it is that simple!
