Greek roots and Latin roots that have the same meanings

Sample lecture Course syllabus


There often exist several different prefixes, roots, or suffixes that have the same meaning because they come from different linguistic origins. The most common origins  are Greek and Latin. These are pairs of words that have the same meanings. The capitalized particles are from Greek and the lowercase particles are from Latin. For each participle, we give the Greek, followed by the Latin, and then its meaning.
