The following vocabulary nearly always comes up in
the TOEFL exam. It is vital that you practise and
learn these words in order to increase your TOEFL Score
Result.
It will also greatly increase your knowledge and understanding
of English words and their roots.
English Word Roots, Prefixes and Suffixes
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. When taking the TOEFL (Test
of English as a Foreign Language), 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.
An English word can consist of three parts: the
root, a
prefix and a
suffix. The root is
the part of the word that contains the basic meaning
(definition) of the word. The root is the base element
of the word. A prefix is a word element that is placed
in front of a root. A prefix changes the word's meaning
or makes a new word. A suffix is a word element that
is placed after the root. The suffix changes the word's
meaning as well as its function (use). Prefixes and
suffixes are called "affixes" because they are
attached to a root.
