Word Knowledge
Latin and Greek rots play a key role in boosting your vocabulary. In working as an ASVAB tutor, I remind the students in my ASVAB prep course of the importance of reviewing prefixes, root words, and suffixes. I included charts of the prefixes, root words, and suffixes, their definitions, and examples of each in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.
Today I present a Word Knowledge question. This question is about a Greek root word “geo”.
There are a number of words that contain the Greek root word “geo”.
These are some of the words: geography, geothermal, geophysics, geoscience, geomorphic, geocentric, geobotanical, etc. Do you know the meaning of these words? Does knowing the meaning of the words help you to understand the meaning of the root word “geo”. Make sure you review Latin and Greek roots so you can expand your vocabulary
The question is:
What does the Greek root word “geo” mean?
- Earth
- Math
- Gene
- Time
Tomorrow I will present the definitions of all the above word with the Greek root “geo”. I will also present the answer to the meaning of the root word “geo”.
