What does the root word phil- mean?
As an ASVAB tutor, I place an emphasis on explaining the importance of reviewing Latin and Greek root words. The root word phil- is a Greek root word. The root word phil- is one of the root words that I included on the root word chart in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide. There are many words in the English language that have the Greek root word phil-.
Examples include philosophy, philosopher, philanthropist, bibliophile, philologist, and philodemic.
Do you know what phil- means? I will present the answer and definition of the above words tomorrow.
