Synopsis
Build a stronger English vocabulary by understanding roots, prefixes, and suffixes through Latin and Anglo-Saxon sources.
This practical guide explains how most of the English lexicon grew from two main strands: the native Anglo-Saxon core and the Latin influence that expanded scope and precision. It outlines clear ideas about root forms, how prefixes and suffixes modify meaning, and how to analyze words by their parts. The lessons show how to connect English derivatives to their roots and to use this knowledge in reading and writing.
- Learn how roots and affixes combine to form thousands of words
- See how Latin and Anglo-Saxon elements shape everyday English
- Practice with structured lessons and teacher-friendly guidance
- Build skills to identify meanings and create new derivatives with confidence

Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from Word-Building: Fifty Lessons, Combining Latin, Greek, and Anglo-Saxon Roots, Prefixes, and Suffixes, Into About Fifty-Five Hundred Common Derivative Words in English; With a Brief History of the English Language
