by Peter L. Smith

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This text is part two of a two part series that examines the systematic principles by which a large portion of English vocabulary has evolved from Latin and (to a lesser degree) from Greek. This book focuses on Greek roots and focuses on imparting some skill in the recognition and proper use of words derived from Greek. There is a stress on principles so that students may be able to cope with new and unfamiliar words of any type that they have studied.
