The ASVAB Tutor Presents Answer to Word Knowledge Question on Root Word “Port”

Word Knowledge

Yesterday I presented the word root port-.  Do you know what the root word port-

means? Port is a Latin root word that means carry.  There are many words that

include the root word port-.  Some of these words are import, export, portable,

deport, and transport.  In working as an ASVAB tutor,

I remind my students of the importance of studying Latin and Greek roots. I included charts

of Latin and Greek roots in my study guide, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and

Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.
