Root Words, Roots and Affixes

Familiarity with Greek and Latin roots, as well as prefixes and suffixes, can help students understand the meaning of new words. This article includes many of the most common examples.

On this page:

Common latin roots, common greek roots, affixes: prefixes and suffixes, introduction.

Many English words are formed by taking basic words and adding combinations of prefixes and suffixes to them. A basic word to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes) are added is called a root word because it forms the basis of a new word. The root word is also a word in its own right. For example, the word lovely consists of the word love and the suffix -ly .

In contrast, a root is the basis of a new word, but it does not typically form a stand-alone word on its own. For example, the word reject is made up of the prefix re- and the Latin root ject , which is not a stand-alone word.

Download a copy of the Common Greek Roots chart below.

One method of understanding the meanings of new words is to analyze the different parts of the word and the meanings of those parts. Many new words are formed by adding an affix to the beginning or end of a Latin or Greek root or root word.

When affixes are added to the beginning of roots or root words, they are called prefixes . For example, the most common prefix is un- , which meant not or  opposite of . If you add un- to the word happy , the new word becomes unhappy , which means not happy .

When affixes are added to the end of roots or root words, they are called suffixes. The most common suffixes are -s and -es , which mean more than one (or the plural) of the word. Adding -es to wish , changes the meaning o the word to more than one wish .

Root Words | Definition, List & Examples

Published on September 13, 2023 by Kassiani Nikolopoulou .

A root word is the most basic form of a word that cannot be further divided into meaningful segments. Root words are used to form new words by adding letters at the beginning (i.e., a prefix) and/or the end (i.e., a suffix).

For example, the word “unfaithful” is made up of these different parts:

prefix        root word     suffix

By adding a suffix and/or a prefix to a root word like “faith,” we can make other words such as “faithful,” “faithfully,” “unfaithful,” and “unfaithfully . ” These words are linked both in terms of spelling and meaning and are called a word family .

What are root words, example root words, latin root words (free downloadable list), greek root words (free downloadable list), worksheet: root words, frequently asked questions about root words.

A root word is the fundamental unit of a word. A root word has nothing added at the beginning or the end. While some root words are standalone words in English, others need a prefix (like “anti-” or “un-”) and/or a suffix (like “-able” or “-ist”) to create a meaningful word.

For example, “cede” is a root word for other words like “recede” or “precedent,” but it is also a word on its own (meaning “to give up”). On the other hand, the root word “struct” does not constitute an understandable word in itself and other letters need to be added for it to make sense (e.g, “instructor,” “destruction,” “structural”).

Many words are created from Latin or Greek root words and usually cannot function as standalone words in English. For example, “chrono” comes from Greek and is the root of words like “chronology,” “synchronize,” and “chronic,” but it’s not a separate word in English.

Learning about root words can help you work out the meaning of new or longer words. When you know how to decode unknown words by identifying their root words and affixes (i.e., the prefix or suffix attached to them), you can navigate more complex or specialized texts. For example, many root words derived from Latin and Greek are common in math and science terminology, like “centi” (“hundred”) or “geo” (“earth”).

• When added at the beginning of the word, they are called prefixes . Common prefixes include: “an-” (“without”), anti- (“against”), “hyper-” (“over”), “non-” (“lack of”), “pre-” (“before”), and “post-” (“after”).
• When added at the end of the word, they are called suffixes . Common suffixes include: “-acy” (“state or quality”), “-able/-ible” (“capable of”), “-al” (“pertaining to”), “-ic/-ical” (“having the form”), and “-less” (“without”).

Some root words can be used independently, while others need to be combined with a prefix (i.e., letters at the beginning), a suffix (i.e., letters at the end) or another root word (e.g., -logue) to form a standalone word.

Root words vs. base words

The terms root words and base words are often used interchangeably. However, they are not exactly the same. While root words cannot always be used as standalone words in English, base words can be used on their own or combined with other words or letters to create complex words.

For example, “code” is a base word that can be used independently or to create other words like “barcode,” “decode,” or “codify.” On the other hand, the root word “aud” (which comes from Latin) cannot be used by itself and has to be combined with other letters to form words like “auditorium,” “audition,” and “audible.” Because many root words are of Latin or Greek origin, they don’t make sense as independent words in English.

Sometimes, root words and base words overlap. For example, the word “act” is a root word of Latin origin, but also a standalone word in English. By adding a prefix or suffix, we get new words like “reaction,” “exact,” and “actor.” In this case, “act” is both a root word and a base word.

• Answers & explanation
• The hotel lost our reservation, and the receptionist was really unhelpful .
• We came to a unanimous decision that more staff is needed during peak hours.
• ANOVA is an abbreviation of “Analysis of Variance”.
• My father is agnostic when it comes to religious matters.
• One of the three aqueducts supplying water to the Los Angeles area is from the Colorado River.
• The root word is help . The word “unhelpful” is made of three parts: “un-” (prefix), ”help” (root word), and “ful” (suffix).
• The root word is anim . The word “unanimous” is made of two parts: “unus” (meaning “one” in Latin) and “animus” (meaning “spirit” or “mind” in Latin).
• The root word is brev . The word “abbreviation” comes from Latin “ad” (prefix meaning “to”) and “breviare” (“shorten”), from brevis (“short”).
• The root word is gnost . The word “agnostic” is made of three parts: “a” (prefix meaning “not” or “without”), “gnost” (root word meaning “to know” in Greek) and “ic” (suffix).
• This word contains two Latin root words: aqua (“water”) and duct (“to lead”).

Although there is no particular rule for finding the root of a word, one way to do this is to check if the word has any affixes (suffix and/or prefix) added to it.

For example, the word “hyperactive” has the prefix “hyper-” (meaning “over”) and the suffix “-ive” (meaning “having the nature of”). If we remove the affixes, we get the root word (“act”).

The root word “dorm” means “sleep” in Latin. So words with this root word will have a meaning related to sleep. For example, the words “dormant,” “dormitory,” and “dormouse” all come from the same root word.

Sentence Structure and development

One way to begin studying basic sentence structures is to consider the traditional parts of speech (also called word classes): nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections • the parts of speech come in many varieties and may show up just about anywhere in a sentence. • To know for sure what part of speech a word is, we have to look not only at the word itself but also at its meaning, position, and use in a sentence. The Parts of Speech

What is it? Explanation • The basic parts of a sentence are the subject, the verb, and (often, but not always) the object. This is the noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition • The subject is usually a noun--a word that names a person, place, or thing. The verb (or predicate) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being. An object receives the action and usually follows the verb. Parts of a sentence

Verbs By Mrs. Caro

A verb shows action. There’s no doubt! It tells what the subject does, Like sing and shout! Action verbs are fun to do! Now it’s time to name a few! So clap your hands and join our rhyme! Say those verbs in record time! Wiggle, Jiggle, Turn around Raise your arms and stomp the ground! Shake your finger and wink your eye! Wave those action verbs GOODBYE! VERBS

An action verb that describes an action that is happening now is called a present tense verb. The bird flies through the sky. Flies is a present tense verb because it is happening right now. Present verbs

Other things to keep in mind: • Not every sentence will have a helping verb with the main verb. • When you see an "ing" verb such as "running", be on the lookout for a helping verb also. Helping Verbs

*Asimple sentence is a sentence with just one independent clause (also called a main clause)*Acompound sentencecontains at least two independent clauses*A complex sentencecontains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause:*Acompound-complex sentencecontains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause:  Four Basic Sentence Structures

Let’s Practice: Read Mr. Fox

A common way to connect related words, phrases, and even entire clauses is to coordinate them--that is, connect them with a basic coordinating conjunction such as "and" or "but." Coordination

Independent clauses can be connected in a variety of ways: 1. By a comma and little conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, and sometimes so). 2. By a semicolon, by itself. 3. By a semicolon accompanied by a conjunctive adverb (such as however, moreover, nevertheless, as a result, consequently, etc.). 4. And, of course, independent clauses are often not connected by punctuation at all but are separated by a period. Combining sentences

To show that one idea in a sentence is more important than another, we rely on subordination--that is, treating one word group as less important. Which he bought two years ago Has already needed repairs My brother’s car Comma Comma Adjective Clauses • Always put a comma before the word WHICH. The adjective clause develops, but is not required. • Never put a comma before the word THAT-this indicates the information is NEEDED

since • so [that implied], so that • than • that • though • unless • when, whenever • where, wherever, whereas • whether • while • after • although • as • because • before • even though • if, even if • in order that • once • provided that Subordinate Conjunctions

Use a comma if you subordinate the first of the two clauses. Even though cat hair clung to Shelly’s pantlegs during her interview, she still got the job. The second clause has less emphasis because its thought is incomplete. Combining sentences

An appositive is a word or group of words that identifies or renames another word in a sentence--most often a noun that immediately precedes it.  Appositive constructions offer concise ways of describing or defining a person, place, or thing. ALWAYS put a COMMA around the phrase. Shelly , WHO IS A NURSE, likes cats Appositives Phrases

Like an adjective clause, an adverb clause is always dependent on (or subordinate to) an independent clause an adverb clause usually modifies a verb, though it can also modify an adjective, an adverb, or even the rest of the sentence in which it appears. Here is the description of the table. You may change or delete this text as you wish. This table is compatible with PowerPoint 97 to 2007. Adverb Clauses

Punctuation

Use semicolons to join independent clauses • Use a semicolon only if the clauses are closely related. • Examples: • Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. • We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people. They might not return it; or worse, they might. Semi-Colon

Use semicolons with conjunctive adverbs or introductory expressions When I eat alone, I leave a mess; however, what’s worse is when everyone laughs at me. The movie was awesome; in fact, it was so funny I cried Semi-Colon’s

A colon means "that is to say" or "here's what I mean." Colons and semicolons should never be used interchangeably. Use a colon to introduce a series of items. Do not capitalize the first item after the colon (unless it's a proper noun). I need an assistant who can do the following: input data, write reports, and complete tax forms. Avoid using a colon before a list when it directly follows a verb or preposition Wrong: I've seen the greats, including: Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep. Right: I've seen the greats, including Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep. . Colons

Hyphens' main purpose is to glue words together (-) • Hyphenate two or more words when they come before a noun they modify and act as a single idea. This is called a compound adjective. • an off-campus apartment • When writing out new, original, or unusual compound nouns, writers should hyphenate whenever doing so avoids confusion. • I changed my diet and became a no-meater. Hyphens

Hyphens' main purpose is to glue words together (-) • An often overlooked rule for hyphens: The adverb very and adverbs ending in -ly are not hyphenated. • Incorrect:the finely-tuned watch (describes adjective) • Correct: Correct:the friendly-looking dog (describes verb) • Hyphenate all spelled-out fractions. • more than two-thirds of registered voters Hyphens

Hyphens are often used to tell the ages of people and things. • We have a two-year-old child Hyphenate prefixes when they come before proper nouns or proper adjectives • Trans-American flight • Mid-June is when the party is  Hyphenate all words beginning with the prefixes self-, ex- (i.e., former), and all-. Suffixes are not usually hyphenated. Some exceptions: -style, -elect, -free, -based. Hyphens

Sometimes you have some information which needs to be added to a sentence, and that little bit of information is EXTEMELY important and you’ll want the reader to pay attention to that information • You are the friend—my only friend—who offered to help me. •  indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought • I wish you would—oh, never mind.

Root Words - PowerPoint

English Resource Description

Understanding root words is an integral part of enhancing vocabulary and word comprehension. In this particular resource, the concept of root words is explored through various examples and exercises designed for Key Stage 2 pupils focusing on word reading. A root word is defined as a basic word without any prefix or suffix attached to it, and the addition of such affixes can alter the word's meaning. For instance, 'help' is presented as a root word, with related words like 'helpful', 'helpless', and 'unhelpful' stemming from it. These derivatives demonstrate how the meaning of the root word can be modified and expanded upon.

The teaching resource further delves into the concept by providing another example with the root word 'dress'. Words such as 'address', 'redress', and 'undress' are shown to have a connection to the root word, illustrating the varied meanings that can emerge from a single base. Worksheets accompany the lesson, prompting students to add words to a given root word tree, look up definitions, and construct sentences with the new words they've learned. Through this interactive approach, students gain a deeper understanding of word formation and the nuances of the English language. Example answers are provided to guide and validate the learning process.
