Prefix word base matching- Match prefixed words to base meaning2

Prefixes and suffixes are generally known as affixes. Affixes create new words, usually by
modifying or changing the meaning of a root word. If we take a root word like HAPPY, we
can see how affixes can change the meaning as in this example: prefix = UN, root word =
HAPPY and suffix = NESS. The end result is UNHAPPINESS.

Suhantos Collection Page _ 6

Sometimes raising awareness to this word formation aspect of English can be the light that
dispels the darkness of dictionary worship.
Since English is a language that has thousands of words from other languages, a brief
etymology of commonly used prefixes and suffixes would do much good.
For example the OCT prefix comes from the Latin OCTO which means EIGHT. If you look
at most English words beginning with OCT, the meaning is never too far from eight. So ask
yourself for example: What is an octopus, octogenarian, octagon, octave, and octet?
In a similar line, TELE- has its roots in Greek, which means far or distant. So what do words
like telecommunication, television, telephone and telex have in common?

Writing

Suhantos Collection Page _ 23

In my opinion, the teaching of writing deserves its own class; however, more often than not I
find that schools bundle writing into the reading program. The purpose of this web page is to
provide teachers and students will information, resources, activities, and worksheets that will
help them to better understand good writing practices. There is no one correct way to write,
but there are some guiding notions to keep in mind when crafting essays and papers, and it is
my purpose the explain those notions as I understand them.
I am working to expand this section to cover all modes of writing. Here are some of the
materials that I have created so far.
