Read the paragraphs below and look for words with Greek and Latin roots.
Science and technology use many words with Greek and
Latin roots. If you know the meanings of those roots, you can
often figure out what the words mean. Here are some useful roots.
• Greek roots include tele, “distant”; photo, “light”; graph,
“to write”; and meter, “measure.”
• Latin roots include spec, “to see”; scrib/script, “to write”;
rupt, “to break”; port, “to carry”; ject, “to throw,” and dict,
“to speak.”
Roots can be combined with each other and with other
words. For example, a photometer (light, measure) is a tool for
measuring light. A photoflash (light, flash) is the light that
flashes when you take a photograph. Transcribe (over, write)
means to move data from one system to another. Transport
means to move an object from one place to another. Teleport
means to move something (distant, carry) without physically
carrying it. A telemeter (distant, measure) is a tool for
measuring from a distance. A telegraph (distant, write) is a
coded message sent a long distance over wires. Here’s one—
phototelegraphy (light, distant, write). That’s a really old word
for sending images long distances over telephone wires. The
new word is shorter—fax.
Combine some roots and see what words you
can come up with.
1–8. Write the words that have the roots tele, photo, or meter.
9–10. Write the words that have the roots port or scrib.
