These ancient roots form the gene of modern English vocabulary, and by unlocking their meanings, you can easily understand and remember even the most difficult words. In this book, I will explore how many English words are formed by combining prefixes and suffixes with basic root words, which are mostly derived from Latin and Greek. Similarly, Chinese language also contains Radicals which provide hints to the word's meaning. By understanding the root words, we can "decode" new words and quickly grasp their meanings. Whether you're a non-native English speaker looking to improve your vocabulary or a native speaker wanting to expand your knowledge, this book will provide you with the tools to do so. Using my experience as a native Chinese speaker who learned English later in life, I have developed unique strategies for understanding and remembering English words. Through my work in data mining and creating a Chinese-English vocabulary database, I have discovered nearly one million entries that enable me to identify vocabulary with the same root. The List of Greek and Latin roots in English provided by resources such as Wikipedia have also been invaluable in my research. In this book, I will provide a comprehensive alphabetical list of prefixes and suffixes, with a special focus on those used in medical terminology. By understanding the meanings of these roots, you will be able to easily remember difficult medical terms and other complex vocabulary. In summary, decoding Greek and Latin roots in English is a smart and unique way to expand your English vocabulary. With the tools and strategies provided in this book, you'll be well on your way to mastering even the most challenging words.
