Latin Etymology: Identifying derivative words |
Hanc autem naturaliter odit serpens, propter quod serpens, dum pro pastu mater exit, nidum repens per arborem pungit et interficit pullos suos, super quos mater rediens lugere per triduum fertur, deinde in pectore se vulnerat et sanguinem super eos respergens, eas a morte suscitat. In the following exercise, match the English word on the right to its Latin root word (from the passage) on the left. If the English word comes from none of the listed Latin root words, mark it as “None of the Above” (e) . Be careful, some of these are tricky! HINT: Use a dictionary to look up the meanings of the English words, and determine if that meaning makes sense given any of the Latin Choices. Latin words are listed as they appear in the passage, though some of the English words may be derived from different forms, so be aware of other morphological constructs – especially for the verbs! |
