We've just added a new section of featured Vocabulary Lists to our site: "Morphology & Roots." Check it out for one-stop shopping of morphology-learning resources.
Learning morphology, or how to decode a word's meaning by identifying its component parts, is a great way to maximize your vocabulary learning. Knowing that "vocare" means "to call" can help you remember that evoke means "call to mind," and that convocation means "a group gathered in response to a summons (or call)."
Morphology knowledge also comes in handy on standardized tests, providing the clues you need to make an educated guess at a word's meaning, or just narrow the options in a multiple choice question.
Here at Vocabulary.com, we introduce you to morphology by teaching you lists of words that stem from a common affix or root. Learn the list, and you'll internalize not only those words, but the meaning of the affix or root in question and a sense of the different ways it can appear.
Right now, our new Morphology & Roots section is featuring lists teaching some of the most common "power prefixes" as well as words that derive from common Latin roots. Get started with these, then check Morphology & Roots to find more. As with all our featured lists sections, we'll be adding new material regularly!
