It explains that roots carry meaning but must combine with prefixes or suffixes, and it lists common Latin-derived roots such as cred/credit, flect/flex, funct, fract/frag, grat/grac, later, loc/locat, and var. Activities include identifying roots and matching them to meanings, using context clues to predict word meanings in sentences, and finding shared roots between paired bold words to derive root meanings.

These word parts are called roots, and their meaning is a clue to the meaning of the English word. Roots cannot stand alone, but must be combined with prefixes or suffixes. A group of words with a common root is a called a word family.  \nLatin Root Meaning Word Family  \ncred or credit believe or trust credible, incredible, discredit, creditable  \nflect or flex bend deflect, reflective, flexible, reflection  \nfunct perform defunct, malfunction, nonfunctioning  \nfract or frag break fragment, fraction, refracting  \ngrat or grac pleasing or thankful ungrateful, gratify, ingrate  \nlater side bilateral, trilateral  \nloc or locat place locally, locale, located  \nvar different variable, invariable, various, variant  \nThe following tips can help you use roots to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words such as unilateral.  \n• Break the word into its parts: (prefix) uni- + (root) later + (suffix)–al  \n• Think of other words you know that have the root later, such as lateral and multilateral. Decide the meaning that they share—”side.”  \n• Think about the meaning of any prefixes or suffixes in the word: uni-means“one,” and-al means “relating to.”  \n• Put this information together to predict what unilateral means: “being one-sided.”  \n• Check the context and a dictionary or glossary to see if your guess is correct.  \nA. Identifying Roots and Word Families  \nUnderline the root of each word in Column A. Then match each word with its correct meaning in Column B. Write the letter of the correct meaning in the space provided. Use the chart to help you. You may also use a dictionary if needed.  \nColumn A  \n1. dislocated    \n2. inflexible    \n3. multilateral    \n4. invariable    \n5. fragmented    \n6. malfunctioning    \n7. ingrate    \n8. credible    \n9. gratify    \n10. various    \nColumn B  \nA. broken into pieces  \nB. one who is not thankful  \nC. not able to bend  \nD. capable of being believed  \nE. pulled out of place  \nF. to make pleased or satisfied  \nG. having many sides  \nH. not working  \nI. not able to change  \nJ. different  \nVOCABULARY 25  \nPDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer-Trial :: [http://www.docudesk.com](http://www.docudesk.com)  \nLesso13n Latin Roots and Word Families More Practice  \nB.

Check your predictions in a dictionary.  \n1. Ellen is a gracious host—she always makes sure that the food is delicious and the decorations are beautiful.  \nmeaning:   2. Todd did all he could to discredit Ellen’s story, but I believed what she said.  \nmeaning:   3. The pond was so still that I could see my face reflected in it.  \nmeaning:   4. My allowance is variable; if I do more chores, I get a larger amount.  \nmeaning:   5. My favorite store is defunct. Maybe another store will move into the empty space.  \nmeaning:   6. Tisha could find only a few fragments of the shattered plate.  \nmeaning:    \nC. Vocabulary Challenge  \nFor each item, write the root shared by the two bold-faced words. Then write the  \nmeaning of the root, using your knowledge of roots and context clues. Check  \nyour answers in a dictionary.  \nEXAMPLE I knew the dog would growl at me if I transgressed, or stepped across, the boundary.  \nThe scientist wanted to invent a machine that would let him regress, or take a step back, in time.  \nroot:  􀀞􀀄􀀅􀀆􀀆  meaning:  􀀆􀀈􀀅􀀌   \n1.
