An alteration is to make something other than what it was; an alternative is another option, and altruism is thinking of others. CONTRA means against. To contradict someone is to speak against what they have said; a contrast is a difference between two things, and to be contrary is to go against what is desired of you by others. STELL means star. The stellar surface is the surface of the star; a constellation is a group of stars, and interstellar space, is the deep space between the stars. Advanced Word: Altruism The word altruism (AL-troo-izm) contains the Latin stems alter (other) and ism (doctrine). Altruism is the opposite of selfishness and geocentricism; it is the ability to do things that are selfless, or of a genuine concern for others, or for the common good.
