2. ROOT WORDS
Have you ever noticed how, in the English language, some small words sometimes appear in a lot of bigger words? Take the word “friend,” for example. If you notice someone who is acting friendly toward you, you might want to start a friendship, so you befriend her. You don’t want to be friendless, after all, but you also probably don’t want to befriend unfriendly people, so you save your friendliness for those who really deserve it. Those are six words based on a smaller one, and we call that smaller word a root word.

3. WHY STUDY ROOTS?
Determining the meaning of unfamiliar words is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.
Knowing the meaning of a root word instantly allows you the ability to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words that utilize this root.
A single root can generate over 100 words, so if you learn even ten roots over the course of a year, that’s like 1,000 words you can potentially unlock on your own.
