Name__________________________________________ Date____________________ Period____ It’s All Greek to Me! (A Greek & Latin Word Root Activity) As in many languages, English words are invented as they are needed. In Biology many words are built from Greek and Latin terms which serve as WORD ROOTS. Every year, as new discoveries are made, new words need to be created from these roots. Words roots can be added to other word roots, prefixes can be added at the beginning, and suffixes are added at the end. The root cyto is a good example. It comes from the Greek word meaning “hollow vessel.” In Biology cyto always means cell, as in the basic unit of all living things.
