    Word Roots
    Cards C01-C30 contain groups of words derived from common roots.
    The root of a word in English is the original word from which the word has evolved. For
    example, the word belligerent, which means aggressive, comes from the Latin word bellum
    which means war. Once you know that fact, it becomes easier to learn that bellicose also
    means aggressive.
    Not all root words are equally helpful when it comes to learning words. We have selected
    word roots that are readily identified and which can help you add important words to your
    vocabulary.
    Since you are not learning Latin, Greek or Anglo-Saxon, we have kept things simple and
    havent identified the language of the root word. In some cases we have given common words
    from the same root to help you remember the root. For example:
    Root

    Meaning
