Building Vocabulary from Word Roots Lesson 10 Latin and Greek Bases pan(t) and omni

Omni and Pan(t) The Latin base omni means “all or every.” The Greek base pan(t) also means “all or every!” These bases are found only at the beginning of words with a second base.

omni= “all or every” omni+ vor (eat) = omnivore— “eating” “everything” both plants and animals omni+ sci(know) = omniscient— “all-knowing” omni+ bus = omnibus—a vehicle for “all” (abbreviated bus) omni+ present (to be at hand)= omnipresent—”being” “everywhere” The ad- prefix assimilates when used with ver, even though it does not double the consonant

Pan(t)= “all or every” pan + dem (the people)= pandemic—disease afflicting “all” of the people pan + orama(view, see) = panorama— a “view” of “everything” pan + acea(heal, cure) = panacea—a medicine used to cure “all” symptoms Pan + demon (devil) = pandemonium—extreme chaos on a large scare; affecting “everyone”
