As an ASVAB tutor, I focus on the importance of prefixes, root words, and suffixes. My book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide reviews ASVAB vocabulary, covers reading comprehension, and presents charts of prefixes, root words and suffixes. Reviewing Latin and Greek suffixes can help improve your vocabulary. Do you know what Latin root word means “good”? The root word bene- means “good”. There are a number of words in the English language that consist of the Latin root bene-. Examples include:
benefit, beneficial, benevolent, benediction, and beneficiary. Did you know that bene- means “good”?
