Time to learn new words

A root word is the basic word to which prefixes or suffixes can be added. A root word can
stand alone, whereas prefixes and suffixes cannot stand alone. For example,

• multi + national = multinational

• semi + circle = semicircle

• uni + form = uniform

• joy + ful = hopeful

• illuminate + ion = illumination

• excite + ment = excitement

Some root words can take both prefixes and suffixes. For example,

• un + ethic + al = unethical

• mis + inform + ation = misinformation

• uni + form + ity = uniformity

• dis + appear + ance = disappearance

• ir + regular + ly = irregularly

• un + comfort + able = uncomfortable
