CHAPTER SUMMARY
Just as many people in our culture have their roots in other countries,
roots of English words, too, come from other languages. The words of
the English language have been borrowed from other languages over
the course of history. The history of a word is called its etymology. Many
of the roots in Chapter 6 come from Greek and Latin languages. We
have included 20 more words with important roots in this chapter
because the more roots and origins you are familiar with, the more you
will be able to recognize related words.
or example, in this chapter, you will be introduced to the root phobe, which means fear. You can then
guess that any word that contains this root has to do with the fear of something. For instance, claus-
Ftrophobia means an abnormal fear of small spaces.
