Many English words are combinations of
two or more smaller parts that came originally from Greek and Latin. If you know the meaning
of each part, you can often understand the meaning of the word as a whole.
Some parts often appear at the beginning of an English word--although not always. We call these prefixes.
Other parts called suffixes usually appear at the ends of words.
Between the prefix and suffix is the root, which usually gives the best clue to the word's meaning.
