Where do the words we use come from?
• English is a blend of words from many other languages
• These words made their way into the English language in many ways
o Occupation by other countries/cultureso English occupation of other countries/cultureso Brought by immigrantso Cultural trends and fashions
The English language is always changing!

Three Basic Word Parts• Prefix: exists at the beginning of the
word and changes a word’s meaning• Root: the base that contains a
word’s meaning—cannot stand alone.• Suffix: exists at the end of a word
and changes that word’s part of speech (e.g. noun, verb, adverb, and so forth)

Roman InfluenceLatin was the language spoken in ancient Rome.
When the Romans conquered territories—including most of Europe—they brought their language to those territories. That is
why there are so many words in our language that have Latin roots.

The English LanguageThe English Language
This is how English as we know it today evolved over the centuries, influenced by many other
European languages.

European Invasions of Britain
Anglians from the area that is now the Netherlands invaded in 550 AD.
Vikings from Scandinavia invaded in 875 AD.
Finally, the Normans from northern France invaded in 1066 AD. English language was banned by the Normans.
All of these invaders brought their languages, which influenced the English language. These influences can be traced through etymology.

Influence of the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church was the official religion in all of Europe until the 1500s.
The official language of the Catholic Church was Latin.
So, no matter what country, all services in the
Catholic Church were spoken in Latin. All priests and church officials spoke
Latin.

Renaissance Influence
During the Renaissance, educated people in Europe became interested in Ancient Greece.
It was a time of expansion of knowledge in the areas of science, medicine, art and architecture.
This is how many Greek word roots made their way into the English language, especially in these subject areas.
Renaissance = Rebirth
1400s- 1500s

The Influence Continues Today
Latin continued to be a
universally understood
language among the educated of Europe until the
1800s. The Catholic
Church continued to use
Latin until the 1950s.
Our language continues to show
influences from the Greek language,
especially in the area of science.

II. Reasons Why You Should Learn Word Roots
• You will recognize word chunks in unfamiliar words and be able to narrow down the possible meaning of the word
• It will help you with vocabulary in many subject areas
• You will be better able to pronounce unfamiliar words
• You will become a better speller• Since many languages have common roots to
Latin and Greek, it makes learning a foreign language easier
