Class by identifying the root of the word presented
you are now able to infer the meaning of borrowed
words. Because what you learned for todays lesson
is for us to Infer the meaning of borrowed words
using roots and now what do you mean by the root
words?

Root words- are basic words to which affixes the

prefixes and suffixes are added to form a new Ma’am root word are basic words to which affixes
word. the prefixes and suffixes are added to form a new
word.
Just like the given example biology

BIOLOGY has a root word “bio” means “life” and

the suffix is “logy” or in Greek word it is “logos”
which means “ to study” is added to form a new
word “Biology” which means “the study of life”

Another example:
Centimeter

what is the root of centimeter? Meter

Okay the root word of centimeter is "meter" which

means a base unit of length and it has a prefix
"Conti" meaning "a hundredth. So “centimeter”
means “a hundred of a meter”

Another example:

Hydrophobia

What is the root word of hydrophobia? Phobia

The root word of hydrophobia is "phobia" which

mean "fear" and it has a prefix "Hydro" means
"water" so hydrophobia means "fear of water”

So did you get the concepts of knowing the

importance of getting the roots word in inferring
the borrowed words? Yes! Ma’am

The ideal way to use root words is to produce

multiple words based on the same root. Also, you
can use the root word to infer the meaning of the
word.
Example the word “phobia” the root word phobia
means having a fear so we will going to use it in
multiple times we have a:

Acrophobia – has a prefix “acro” means heights

- So acrophobia means fear of heights
Androphobia – ha a prefix “andro” which means
male
- So meaning androphobia is fear of
men
Technophobia – has a prefix “techno” which
means technology
- So technophobia is fear of
technology

Since we are talking about the root word phobia,

are there something that you have fear about?

You know class having a phobia is one of the

mental illness that we can experience. So my
question is are we going to criticize the people
having this mental illness? No Ma’am

Okay it’s a no, we should help them overcome

their fears

Can you give me another example of root word

which is use to produce multiple words? Multi
Auto

greek roots and knowing them can help you
understand many English words.
