    Roots are base words that other characters or letters like prefixes and suffixes are attached to. Roots consistently mean the same thing and are the base for related words. Examples given include "geo" being the root for geology, geological, and geography. Words can be categorized as those of foreign origin imported from other languages, those derived from word roots where the meaning of the root provides insight into the word's meaning, or unbreakable word roots that cannot be derived from another word in the same language.

    ANALYZING ROOTS

    Roots
     Are base words to which other characters or letters like prefixes and
    suffixes are attached.
     Consistently mean the same thing and are the base for related words.
     We often encounter roots of Greek and Latin origin in subjects like
    Science and English.
    Example:
    geo is the root word of geology, geological and geography.
    Root Meaning Examples
    bene good benefecial, benevolent, benefit
    cred believe credible, credit, credence
    dom home domestic, domicile
    pater father paternity, patriarch
    tract drag, pull tractor, distract, distractions
    spect look inspect, spectacle, circumspect
    stat, sta not moving stationary, statue, stagnant, stable
    port carry transport, portable, important
    dict say diction, dictionary, prediction, verdict
    rupt break interrupt, rupture, corrupt
    Words can also be categorized in three ways:
    1. Words of foreign origin
    these are either international words like hotel, taxi, restaurant or words imported from
    neighboring languages, such as German Phantasie, and Portemonnaie or English
    rendezvous, chauffeur, debutante ( all borrowed from French .
    2. Words derived from roots
    examples include French for “good friend” is copain.
    since “co” means with “pain” means “bread” and that French copain is the person you
    shared
    bread with, remembering the word becomes less troublesome.
    3. Unbreakable word roots.
    these are words that cannot be derived from another in the same language. For instance,
    Russian for brother is brat, closely related to English brother, German bruder, Italian fratello
