Word Knowledge Question on Suffix -Vorous and -Vore
What does the suffix -vorous or -vore mean?
As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of reviewing prefixes, root words, and suffixes to build their vocabulary for the Word Knowledge section of the ASVAB. -Vore and -vorous is one of the many suffixes that I included in my suffix charts for Word Knowledge review in my book, The ASVB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide. Some examples of words with the suffix -vore or -vorous are herbivore, herbivorous, carnivore, carnivorous, omnivore, omnivorous. Do you know what the suffix -vorous or -vore means?
