7.  Most words used in the English language today were not originally English.  These words were borrowed (taken) from other languages. The majority of English words have Latin or Greek origins.  It is helpful to know some of these origins or "roots" of English vocabulary.  It may be possible to guess the meaning of an unknown word when one knows the meaning of its root.  Knowing prefixes and suffixes can also assist in the process.

8.  Most words are made up of various combinations of the following word parts: prefix, suffix, base word, and root.  Therefore, one way to determine a word’s meaning is to break down the word into its parts and figure out the meaning of each part.  http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php? video_id=126398&title=Prefixes__Suffixes__and_ Roots_Rap (Words Have Power) http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php? video_id=126398&title=Prefixes__Suffixes__and_ Roots_Rap
