INTRODUCTION
When you have finished studying this book, you will no longer be the
same person. You can not be. If you honestly read every page, if you do
every exercise, if you take every test, you will go through an intellectual
experience that will effect a radical change in you.
For if you systematically increase your vocabulary, you will also sharpen
and enrich your thinking; push back your intellectual horizons; build your
self-assurance; improve your facility in handling the English language and
thereby your ability to express your thoughts effectively; and acquire a
deeper understanding of the world in general and of yourself in particular.
Increasing your vocabulary does not mean merely learning the definitions
of large numbers of obscure words; it doesn't mean memorizing scores of
unrelated terms. What it means -what it can only mean- is becoming
acquainted with the multitudinous and fascinating phenomena of human
existence for which words are, obviously, only the verbal descriptions.
Surely you cannot deny that such an experience will change you
intellectually. The result will have a discernible effect on your methods of
thinking, on your store of information, on your ability to express your
ideas, and on your understanding of human problems.
What this book can do for you. This book is designed to get you started
building your vocabulary effectively and, at jet-propelled speed, helping
you regain the intellectual atmosphere, the keen insatiable curiosity, and
the powerful urge to learn.
The organization of the book is based on two simple principles: (
١) words
are the verbal symbols of ideas, and (
٢) the more ideas you are familiar
with, the more words you know. So, chapter by chapter, we will start
with some personality type, doctors, sciences, unusual occupations, liars,
actions, speech habits, insults, compliments, etc. and examine ten basic
words that express various aspects of each idea. Using each word as a
springboard, we will explore any others that are related to it in meaning
or derivation. However, the approach is, primarily, to focus on certain
ideas each of which is analyzed, with its ramifications, in one paragraph
or more. There will be an etymology section where you will learn what
Greek or Latin root gives the word its unique meaning and what other
words contain the same or related roots. Upon reviewing etymology

exercises, make sure to fill in the English word containing the prefix,
root, or suffix required.
People with superior vocabularies are the people with ideas. The words
they know are verbal symbols of the ideas they are familiar with-reduce
one and you must reduce the other, for ideas cannot exist without
verbalization. Freud once had an idea and had to coin a whole new
vocabulary to make his idea clear to the world. Those who are familiar
with Freud's theories know all the words that explain them the
unconscious, the ego, the id, the superego, rationalization, Oedipus
complex, and so on. Splitting the atom was once a new idea; anyone
familiar with it knew something about fission, isotope, radioactive,
cyclotrone, etc.
Your vocabulary indicates the alertness and range of your mind. The
words you know show the extent of your understanding of what's going
on in the world. The size of your vocabulary varies directly with the
degree to which you are growing intellectually. A new word is not just
another pattern of syllables with which to clutter up your mind -- a new
word is a new idea to help you think, to help you understand the
thoughts of others, to help you express your own thoughts, to help you
live a richer intellectual life.
One of the chief purposes of this book is to get you started, to give you
enough of a push so that you will begin to gather momentum, to
stimulate you enough so that you will want to start gathering your own
ideas. Where can you gather them? From good books on new topics.
How can you gather them? By reading on a wide range of new subjects.
Reference can be made to psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis. If
your curiosity has been piqued by these references, here is a good place
to start. In these fields there is a tremendous and exciting literature and
you can read as widely and as deeply as you wish. What we would like
to do is offer a few suggestions as to where you might profitably begin -
how far you go will depend on your own interest. We suggest, first, half
a dozen older books (older, but still immensely valuable and completely
valid) available at any large public library.
-The Human Mind, by Karl A. Menninger
-Mind and Body, by Flanders Dunbar
-The Mind in Action, by Eric Berne
-Understandable Psychiatry, by Leland E. Hinsie
-A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, by Sigmund Freud.
-Emotional Problems of Living, by O. Spurgeon English and Gerald H.J.

How do you assess your own vocabulary?
Educational testing indicates that children of ten who have grown up in
families in which English is the native language have recognition
vocabularies of over twenty thousand words- and that these same ten-
year-olds have been learning new words at a rate of many hundreds a
year since the age of four. In astonishing contrast, studies show that
adults who are no longer attending school increase their vocabularies at a
pace slower than twenty-five to fifty words annually. You really need to
answer questions such as:
Is your vocabulary quantitatively healthy?
Is it rich in over-all range?
Is it responsive to any situation in which you may find yourself?
Is it truly indicative of your intellectual potential?
Do you now feel that your vocabulary is somewhat limited, your verbal
skills not as sharp as you would like them to be? Then series of tests are
provided to measure your vocabulary range and your verbal speed and
responsiveness. Thirty eight brief phrases, each containing one underlined
word are given so that you check the closest definition of each word. To
make your score valid, refrain, as far as possible, from wild guessing.

Now you know where you stand. If you are in the below average or
average group, you must consider, seriously, whether an inadequate
vocabulary may be holding you back. You have got to know that words
are the instruments by means of which men and women grasp the thought
of others and with which they do much of their own thinking. They are the
tools of thought. Educational research has discovered that your IQ. is
intimately related to your vocabulary. Take a standard vocabulary test and
then an intelligence test - the results in both will be substantially the same.

Etymology and related words:
Every word in the English language has a history. In this section you will
learn a good deal more about the words you have been working with. In
addition, you will make excursions into many other words allied either in
meaning, form ,or history to the above basic ten words.
Egoist and egotist are built on the same Latin root. The pronoun ego
means I. If you are an egocentric, you consider yourself the center of the
universe, you are an extreme form of the egoist. And if you are an
egomaniac, you carry egoism to such an extreme that your needs, desires,
and interests have become a morbid obsession, a mania. The egoist or
egotist is obnoxious. The egomaniac is obnoxious, dangerous and slightly
mad, while the egocentric is intolerable . Egocentric is both a noun (What
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
١٦
an egocentric her new roommate is!) and an adjective (He is the most
egocentric person I have ever met !). To derive the adjective form of
egomaniac add -al, a common adjective suffix-- egomaniacal. In Latin, the
word for other is alter. Altruism, the philosophy practiced by altruists,
which comes from one of the variant spellings of Latin alter, other.
Altruistic actions look toward the benefit of others. If you alternate, you
skip one and take the other, so to speak, as when you play golf on alternate
Saturdays. An alternate in a debate, contest, or convention, is the other
person who will take over if the original choice is unable to attend. And if
you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
You see how easy it is to understand the meanings of these words once you
realize that they all come from the same source. And keeping in mind that
alter means other, you can quickly understand words like alter ego,
altercation, and alteration. An alteration is of course a change- a making
into something other. When you alter your plans, you make other plans.
An altercation is a verbal dispute. When you have an altercation
with someone, you have a violent disagreement, a "fight with words ". And
why? Because you have other ideas, plans, or opinions than those of the
person on the other side of the argument. Altercation, by the way, is
stronger than quarrel or dispute ,the sentiment is more heated, the
disagreement is likely to be angry or even hot tempered; there may be
recourse, if the disputants are human, to profanity or obscenity.
Alter ego, which combines alter, other with ego, I, self, generally refers to
someone with whom you are so close that you both do the same things,
think alike, react similarly, and are, in temperament, almost mirror images
of each other. Any such friend is your other I, your other self, your alter
ego.
You have seen how these thirteen words derive from the two Latin roots
ego, I, self, and alter, other. Now match definitions to words:
١. ego
A A. One who is excessively fixated on his own dsires, needs etc
٢. ego-centric
B. to change
٣. altruism
C. argument
٤. to alternate
D. one's concept of oneself
٥. to alter
E. to take one skip one etc.
٦. altercation
F. philosophy of putting another's welfare above one's own.

MORE ETYMOLOGY
Introvert, extrovert, and ambivert are built on the Latin verb verto, to
form. If your thoughts are constantly turned inward (intro) you are an
introvert; outward (extro),an extrovert; and in both directions (ambi), an
ambivert. The prefix ambi-, both, is also found in ambidextrous, able to
use both hands with equal skill. Dexterous means skillful, the noun
dexterity means skill. The
ending -ous is a common adjective suffix (famous, dangerous, perilous,
etc.); -ity is a common noun suffix (variety, quality, simplicity, etc.).
The French word for the right hand is adroit, which we have used in
building our English word adroit. Needless to say, adroit, like dexterous,
means skillful, but especially in the exercise of the mental facilities. Like
gauche, adroit, or its noun adroitness, usually, is used figuratively. The
adroit person is quick-witted, can get out of difficult spots cleverly, can
handle situations ingeniously. Adroitness is, then, quite the opposite of
gaucherie. Misanthrope, Misogynist, and Misogamist are built on the Greek
root misein, to hate.
The root gyne, woman, is also found in gynecologist, the medical specialist
who treats female disorders. And the root gamos, marriage, occurs also in
monogamy, bigamy and polygamy. Monos means one, bi- means two,
polys means many. If a woman has two or more husbands, that custom is
called polyandry, from polys plus Greek andros, male.
English words have various forms, using certain suffixes for nouns referring
to persons, other suffixes for practices, attitudes, philosophies, etc., and
still others for adjectives.

You note, then, that "-ist" is a common suffix for a person; -y for a
practice, attitude, etc.; and "-ic" or "-ous" for an adjective.
Concerning the word ascetic, it is from the Greek word asketes, monk or
hermit. A monk lives a lonely life , not for him the pleasures of the
fleshpots, the laughter and merriment of convivial gatherings , the
dissipation of high living. The practice is asceticism, the adjective ascetic.

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
- Internist and internal derive from the same Latin root (internus = inside).
Do not confuse the internist with the intern (also spelled internee) who is a
medical graduate serving an apprenticeship inside a hospital.
-Gynecologist is built on Greek" "gyne" woman (plus logos = science);
etymologically, gynecologist is the medical science of women.
-Obstetrician derives from Latin (obstetrics = midwife) which has its source
in a Latin verb meaning to stand. The suffix -ician, as in obstetrician,
physician, musician, magician, electrician, etc., means expert.
- Pediatrician is a combination of Greek (paidos = child, iatreia = medical
healing, and -"ician" expert pediatrician), then, is by etymology the
medical healing of a child.
- Pedagogy ,which combines paidos with agogos, leading, is, etymologically,
the leading of children and to what do you lead them? To learning, to
development, to growth, to maturity. Hence pedagogy refers actually to
the principles and methods of teaching.
- A pedagogue is versed in pedagogy. From its original, neutral meaning of
teacher, it has deteriorated, to the point where it refers to a narrow-
minded, strait-laced, old-fashioned, dogmatic teacher.It is a word of
contempt and should be used with caution. Like pedagogue, demagogue
has also deteriorated in meaning. By derivation a leader (agogos) of the
people (demos), a demagogue today is actually one who attempts to
mislead the people.

- Dermatologist is named from Greek (dermas = Skin). The syllables derma
in any English word have reference to skin e.g., hypodermic = needle
penetrates under the skin. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin;
taxidermist whose business is taxidermy, prepares, stuffs, and mounts the
skins of animals.
- Pachyderm is an animal with an unusually thick skin, and dermatitis is the
general name for any skin inflammation, irritation, or infection.
-Ophthalmologist -note the "ph" preceding "th" - is from Greek (ophthalmos
= eye), plus (logos = science or study). An earlier title for this physician
is oculist from Latin (oculus = eye), a root on which the following English
words are also built: "ocular; [monocle = a lens for one (monos) eye];
[binoculars = field glass that increase the range of two(bi-) eyes]. And
strangely enough, inoculate: refers to the incident when you are inoculated
against a disease; an "eye", puncture, or hole is made in your skin,

sight or vision, with metron, measurement . The optometrist, by
etymology, is one who measures vision. Optician is built on opsis,
(optikos, plus - ician, expert).

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
-Orthopedist is from the Greek roots "orthos" = straight or
correct, and paidos= child. The orthopedist straightens children =
prevention of childhood diseases - the correction of spinal curvature in
children was a main concern of practitioners of orthopedics.
-Orthodontia, the straightening of teeth - is built on "orthos" plus
odontos, tooth. Specializes in improving your "" bite retracting" "buck
teeth", and by means of braces and other techniques seeing to it that every
noral, incisor, bicuspid, etc. is exactly where it belongs in your mouth.

٣٧
-Cardiologist combines Greek Kardia = heart, and logos =
science. A cardiogram is the electricity produced record of the heartbeat.
The instrument that produce this record is called a cardiograph.
-Neurologist derives from Greek neuron = nerve, plus logos =
science. Neuralgia is acute pain along the nerves and their braces; the
word comes from neuron plus Lagos = pain. Neuritis is inflammation of
the nerves. Neurosis, combining neuron with -osis , a suffix meaning
abnormal or diseased condition, is not a disorder of the nerves, but rather
an illness characterized by excessive use of energy for unproductive
purposes so that personality development is hindered or stopped.
-A neurosis is not a form of mental unbalance. A full-blown mental
disorder is called a psychosis, a word built on Greek psyche spirit, soul, or
mind, plus-osis. A true psychotic has lost contact with reality. Built on
psyche plus ietreia, medical healing, a psychiatrist by etymology is a mind
healer.
Geriatrics, the specialty dealing with the particular medical needs of
the elderly. This word combines "ietreia" with Greek geras, "old age".
The specialist is a geriatrician, the adjective is geriatric.

CHAPTER THREE
LEXICONS ON SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS
In this chapter we deal with words that describe students of human
development, of the heavens, of the earth, of plant and animal life of insect
forms, of words and language, and of social organization. Who are some of
the more important explorers of knowledge - and by what terms are they
known?
-An anthropologist. His field is all Mankind: how we developed in mind
and body from primitive cultures and early forms.
-An astronomer: What is above? The field is the heavens and all that's in
them-planets, galaxies, stars and others universes.
-A geologist: and what's below? The field is the comparatively little and
insignificant whirling ball on which we live - the earth. How did our planet
come into being, what is it made of, how were its mountains, oceans,
rivers, plains, and valleys formed, and what's down deep if you start
digging ?
-A biologist: his field is all living organs from the simplest one called
ameba to the amazingly complex and mystifying structure we call a human
being.
-A botanist: Biology classifies life into two great divisions, plant and
animal. This scientist's province is the former category - flowers, trees,
shrubs, mosses, marine vegetation, blossoms, fruits, seeds, grasses, and all
the rest that make up the plant kingdom.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
٤٧
-A zoologist: Animals of every description, kind, and condition, from birds
to bees, fish to fowl, reptiles to humans are the special area of exploration
of this scientist.
-An entomologist: There are over
٦٥٠،٠٠٠ different species and this
scientist is interested in every one of them.
- A philologist: This linguistic scientist explores the subtle, intangible,
elusive uses of that unique tool that distinguishes human beings from all
other forms of life to wit: language. This person is, in short, a student of
linguistics, ancient and modern, primitive and cultured, Chinese, Arabic,
Icelandic, Slavic, Teutonic, and every other kind spoken now or in the past
by human beings, not excluding that delightful hodgepodge known as

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
-Anthropologist is constructed from roots we are familiar with -
anthropos, mankind, and logos, science, study.
-Astronomer is built on Greek astron, star, and nomos,
arrangement, law or order. The astronomer is interested in the
arrangement of stars and other celestial bodies. The adjective astronomical
is often used in a non-heavenly sense as in "the astronomical size of the
national debt." Astron, Star, combines with logos to form astrology, which
assesses the influence of planets and stars or human events. The
practitioner is an astrologer. By etymology, an astronaut is a sailor among
the stars (Greek neutes, sailor). This person is termed with somewhat less
exaggeration a cosmonaut by the Russians (Greek, Kosmos, universe).
Nautical, relating to sailors, sailing ships, or navigation, derives also from
nautes, and nautes in turn is from Greek naus, ship a root used in nausea (
etymologically, ship sickness or seasickness). Aster is a star shaped flower.
Asterisk, a star-shaped symbol *, is generally used in writing or printing to
direct the reader to look for a footnote. Astrophysics is that branch of
physics dealing with heavenly bodies. Autonomy: a word that combines
nomos, law, with autos, self autonomy, then, is the self-law, self-
government. Metronome is a word that combines nomos with metron,
measurement. You know the instrument that beginners at the piano use to
guide their timing. A pendulum swings back and forth, making an audible
click at each swing, and in that way governs or orders the measure (or
timing) of the player. Hence it is called a metronome.

-Geologist: derives from Greek(geo-) earth. The science is geology.
Geometry -ego plus metron - by etymology "measurement of the earth".
The ancient scientist was originally concerned with the measurement of
land and spaces on the earth. The mathematician is a geometrician; the
adjective is geometric. Geography is writing about (graphein, to write), or
mapping, the earth. The name George is also derived from ge(geo-), earth,
plus "ergon" work the first George was (an earth-worker or farmer.).
-Biologist combines "bios", life, with logos, science, study. Bios,
life, is also found in biography, writing about someone's life, auto-
biography, the story of one's life written by oneself, and biopsy, a medical
examination, or view ( opsis, optikos, view, vision), generally through a
microscope, of living tissue, frequently performed when cancer is
suspected. A biopsy is contrasted with an autopsy, which is a medical
examination of a corpse in order to discover the cause of death. The autos
in autopsy means, self . In an autopsy, etymologically speaking, the surgeon
or pathologist determines, by actual view or sight rather than by theorizing
, what brought the corpse to its present grievous state.
-Botanist is from Greek botane, plant. The field is botany; the
adjective is botanical .
-Zoologist is from Greek Zoion, animal. The zodiac is a diagram,
used in astrology, of the paths of the sun, moon, and planets, it contains, in
part, Latin names for various animals Scorpio, scorpion; Leo, lion, cancer,
crab, Taurus, bull, Aries, ram, and Pisces, fish. Hence its derivation from
zoion, animal.

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
The prefix "ec"-, from Greek " ek" - means out; (the Latin prefix,
you will recall, is ex-.). Combine "ec-" with tome to derive the words for
surgical procedures in which parts are "cut out," or removed: tonsillectomy
(the tonsils), appendectomy (the appendix), mastectomy (the breast),
hysterectomy (the uterus), prostatectomy (the prostate), etc. Combine
"ec"-with Greek kenton, center (the Latin root, as we have discovered, is
centrum), to derive eccentric - out of the center, hence deviating from the
normal in behavior, attitudes, etc., or unconventional, odd, strange. The
noun is eccentricity.
The Greek prefix a- makes a root negative; the atom was so named
at a time when it was considered the smallest possible particle of an
element that is, one that could not be cut any further.
The Greek prefix "Ana-" has a number of meanings, one of which is
up, as in anatomy, originally the cutting up of a plant or animal to
determine its structure, later the bodily structure itself. Originally any book
that was part of a larger work of many volumes was called a tome-
etymologically, a part out from the whole. Today, a tome designates, often
disparagingly, an exceptionally large book, or one that is heavy and dull in
content.
The Greek prefix "dicha", in two, combines with tome to construct
dichotomy, a splitting in two, a technical word used in astronomy, biology,
botany, and the science of logic. The verb is dichotomize; the adjective is
dichotomous. Dichotomous thinking is the sort that divides everything into
two parts - good and bad; white and black; etc.

٥٨
Epitome, a condensation of the whole, may refer to a summary or
abridgment of language, as in " let me have an epitome of the book, "or"
give me the epitome of his speech". It is from "epi-", on, upon, plus tome.
The verb is epitomize e.g. that one act epitomizes her philosophy of life.
Logos, we know, means science or study; it may also mean word or
speech, as it does in philosophy, etymologically the love of words (from
Greek Philein, to love, plus logos) or what is more commonly called
linguistics, the science of language, a term derived from Latin Lingua,
tongue.
The verb philander, to "have love affairs", be promiscuous, or have
extramarital relations, combines philein with andros, male. By etymology,
philosophy is the love of wisdom (Greek "sophos", wise); Philadelphia is
the city of brotherly love (Greek "adelphos", brother); Philharmonic is the
love of music or ;harmony (Greek harmonia, harmony); and philter, a
rarely used word, is a love potion. Today we call whatever arouses sexual
desire an aphrodisiac, from Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love and
beauty.
Aphrodisiac is an adjective as well as a noun - aphrodisiacal is also
used. A bibliophile means a book collector - the combining root is Greek
biblion, book. An Anglophile admires and is fond of the British people,
customs, culture, etc. The combining root is Latin Anglus, English.
Semantics, like orthopedics, pediatrics, and obstetrics, is a singular
noun despite the -s ending. Semantics is, not are, an exciting study.
However, this rule applies only when we refer to the word as a science or
area of study. In the following sentences, semantics is used as a plural.
The semantics of your thinking are all wrong.

٥٩
Sociology is built on Latin "Socius", companion, plus Logos,
science, study. "Socius "is the source of such common words as associate,
social, socialize, society, sociable, and antisocial, as well as asocial, which
combines the negative prefix a- with "socius". Someone who is asocial is
withdrawn and self-centered, avoids contact with others, and feels
completely indifferent to the interests or welfare of society. The asocial
person doesn't want to "get involved".

CHAPTER FOUR
LANGUAGE OF LIARS AND LYING
Lying seems to be an integral weakness of mortal character. We
doubt that few human beings would be so brash as to claim that they have
never in their lives told at least a partial untruth. Indeed, one philologist
goes so far as to theorize that language must have been invented for the
sole purpose of deception. It is certainly true that animals seem somewhat
more honest than humans, maybe because they are less gifted mentally. If
lying is a prevalent and all-too-human phenomenon, there would of course
be a number of interesting words to describe different types of liars. What
kind of liars are there?
-A notorious liar: A person whose personality is known for
avoiding facts. He has built so solid and unsavory a reputations that only a
stranger is likely to be misled.
-A consummate liar: His ability is top-drawer rarely does anyone
lie as convincingly or as artistically as he does. His skill,in short, has
reached the zenith of perfection. His lying is almost always crowned with
success.
-An incorrigible liar: This person is impervious to correction.
Often as he may be caught in his fabrications, there is no reforming him.
He goes right on lying despite the punishment, embarrassment, or
unhappiness that this distortions of truth may bring upon him.
-An inveterate liar: This person is the victim of firmly fixed and
deep-rooted habits. Telling untruths is as frequent and customary an
activity as brushing his teeth in the morning.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
٧٠
-A congenital liar: This person has such a long history of persistent
falsification that one can only suspect that his vice started when he was
reposing in his mother's womb.
-A chronic liar: No let up - while normal people lie on occasions
and often for special reasons, he lies continually.
-A pathological liar: A strange disease. This person doesn't bother
to distinguish fact from fantasy; not concerned with the difference between
truth and falsehood. His lying is a disease that no antibiotic can cure.
-An unconscionable liar: This person is completely without a
conscience. No matter what misery for fabrications may cause his innocent
victims, he never feels the slightest twinges of guilt.
-A glib liar: This person possesses a lively imagination and a ready
tongue, he can distort facts as smoothly and as effortlessly as he can say his
name. But he doesn't always get away with his lies.
-An egregious liar: This person's lies are so outstandingly hurtful
that people gasp in amazement and disgust at hearing them.
The ten basic words mentioned above revolve rather closely around
a central core. Each one, however, has a distinct, a unique meaning, and a
special implication. Note the difference:
TYPE OF LIAR
SPECIAL IMPLICATION
١. notorious
famous or infamous for lying; tendency to falsify is well-known
٢. consummate
great skill
٣. incorrigible
far gone to be reformed , impervious to rehabilitation
٤. inveterate
lying has become a deep-rooted habit
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
٧١
٥. congenital
lying had very early beginnings as if from birth
٦. chronic
over and over
٧. pathological
an irresistible compulsion to lie often for no rational reason
lying is a disease
٨. unconscionable
lack of regret or remorse
٩. glib
great smoothness
١٠. egregious
viciousness of the lies
Again, these ten expressive adjectives are not restricted to lying or
liars. They also have general meanings:
words
meanings
١. notorious
well-known for some bad quality -a notorious philanderer.
٢. consummate
perfect, highly skilled-consummate artistry at the keyboards.
٣. incorrigible
beyond reform, an incorrigible optimist.
٤. inveterate
long accustomed, deeply habituated-an inveterate smoker (this
adjective, like notorious, usually has an unfavorable connotation)
٥. congenital
happening at or during birth, a congenital deformity.
٦. chronic
going on for a long time, or occurring again and again-chronic
appendicitis.
٧. pathological
diseased - a pathological condition
٨. unconscionable

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
-Notorious: The derivation is from Latin notus = known, from
which we also get noted.
-Summit is derived from Latin summus = highest, which also gives
us the mathematical term sum, as in addition. A consummate artist has
reached the very highest point of perfection; and to consummate marriage,
a business deal, or a contract is, etymologically, to bring it to the highest
point; that is, to put the final touches to it; to bring it to completion. To
make a noun out of consummate, add either -ness or -acy; consummateness
or consummacy. Verbs ending in -ate invariably take on the noun suffix /-
ion/ to form nouns: create - creation; evaluate - evaluation; etc.
-Incorrigible: is derived from Latin "corrigo", to correct or set
straight, plus the negative prefix in- . (This prefix, depending on the root it
precedes, may be negative, may intensify the root, as in invaluable, or may
mean in.) The noun is incorrigibility or, alternatively, incorrigibleness.
-Inveterate, from Latin "vetus"= old (Latin "senex", source of senile
and senescent, also means old. In inveterate" in-" means in. It is not the
negative prefix found in incorrigible. Inveterate drinkers have been
imbibing for so long that they have formed old, well established habits, and
inveterate liars have been lying for so long, and their habits are by now so
deep-rooted, that one can scarcely remember when they ever told the truth.

-Greek genesis, birth or origin, a root we discovered in discussing
psychogenic, is the source of a great many English words. Genetics is the
science that treats the transmission of hereditary characteristics from
parents to offspring. The scientist specializing in the field is a geneticist ,
the adjective is genetic. The particle in the chromosome of the germ cell
containing a hereditary characteristics is a "gene". The genital, or sexual,
organs are involved in the process of conception and birth. The genesis of
anything " a plan, idea, thought, career, etc." is its beginning, birth, or
origin, and Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, describes the
creation, or birth, of the universe.
-Congenital is constructed by combining the prefix con-, with or
together, and the root genesis, birth. So a congenital defect, deformity,
condition, etc. occurs during the nine-month birth process ( or period of
gestation, to become technical). A thalidomile baby results from the use of
the drug by a pregnant woman, so the deformities were congenital.
Congenital is used both literally and figuratively. Literally, the
word generally refers to some medical deformity or abnormality occurring
during gestation, figuratively, it wildly exaggerates, for effect, the very
early existence of some quality: congenital liar, congenital fear of the dark,
etc.

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
A chronic is the derivation of the Greek word "chronos "= time.
The noun is chronicity. An anachronism is someone or something out of
times, out of date, belonging to a different era. The adjective is
anachronous or anachronistic. An incongruous is a word combining the
negative prefix, the prefix con-, with or together, and a Latin verb meaning
to agree or correspond. Thus it is incongruous to wear a sweater and
slacks to a formal wedding, it is anachronous to wear the wasp waist,
conspicuous bustle, or powdered wig of the eighteenth century. The noun
form of incongruous is incongruity. Chronological in correct time, order,
comes from chronos. Chronology is the science of time order and accurate
dating of events (Logos, science)-the expert in this field is a chronologist.
A chronometer, combining chronos with metron, measurement, is a
highly accurate time piece, especially one used on ships. Chronometry is
the measurement of time. The adjective is chronometric
Add the prefix "syn- " together, plus the verb suffix "-ize," to
"chronos", and you have constructed synchronize. Etymologically to time
together, or to move, happen , or cause to happen, at the same time or rate.
The adjective is synchronous; the noun form of the verb synchronize is
synchronization .

Pathological is diseased ( a pathologic condition) - this meaning of
the word ignores the root logos, science, study . Pathology is the science or
study of disease. However, another meaning of the noun ignores logos,
and pathology may be any morbid, diseased or abnormal physical condition
or conditions. A pathologist is an expert who examines tissue, often by
autopsy or biopsy, to diagnose disease and interpret the abnormalities in
such tissue that may be caused by specific diseases. Pathos occurs in some
English words with the additional meaning of feeling. If you feel or suffer
with someone, you are-sympathetic "-sym-"is a respelling before the letter
p of the Greek prefix syn-, with or together. The noun is sympathy, the
verb sympathize. The prefix anti = against-antipathy to people or things
means against them. The adjective is antipathetic, as in "an antipathetic
reaction to an authority figure."
otion, oBut you may have no feeling at all, just indifference, lack of
any interest, emr response, complete listlessness, especially when somes
reaction is normal or expected. Then you are apathetic; a- is a negative
prefix. The noun is apathy, as in voter apathy, student apathy, etc. The
opposite is empathy; you empathize, you are empathetic or to use an
alternate adjective, empathic.
Em is a respelling before the letter P of the Greek prefix en-, in. A
pathetic story is about suffering and , again, is likely to arouse sadness,
sorrow, or pity. Telepathy = people communicate with each other without
recourse to means of communication-also called mental telepathy = one
person reads the mind of another. Being able to do such kind of mind-
reading makes you telepathic. Telepathy is built by combining pathos =
feeling with the prefix tele-, distance, the same prefix we find in telephone,
telegraph, telescope.

ORIGINS AND RELATED WORDS
Unconscionable and conscience are related in derivation- the first
word from Latin "Scio "= to know, the second from Latin "sciens"
knowing, and both using the prefix con-, with, together. Etymologically,
then your conscience is your knowledge with a moral sense of right and
wrong; if you are unconscionable, your conscience is not working, or you
have no conscience. The noun form is unconscionableness or
unconscionability.Conscious, also from con- plus "scio", is knowledge or
awareness of one's emotions or sensations, or of what is happening around
one.
Science, from "sciens" is systematized knowledge as opposed, for
example, to belief, faith, intuition, or guesswork.
Add Latin" omnis "= all, to sciens, to construct omniscient = all-
knowing, possessed of infinite knowledge. The noun is omniscience.
Add the prefix" pre-" = before, to sciens, to construct " knowing
about events before they occur, i.e., psychic, or possessed of unusual
powers of prediction. The noun is prescience (pre ' shans).
And, finally, add the negative prefix" ne-"to sciens to produce
nescient, not knowing, or ignorant.
Glib is from an old English root that means slippery. Glib Liars or
glib talkers are smooth and slippery; they have ready answers, fluent
tongues, a persuasive air; but, such is the implication of the word, they fool
only the most nescient, for their smoothness lacks sincerity and conviction,
the noun is glibness

٨٨
Egregious is from Latin "grex", gregis = herd or flock. An
egregious lie, act, crime, mistake, etc. is so exceptionally vicious that it
conspicuously stands out (e-, a shortened form of the prefix ex-, out) from
the herd or flock of other bad things. The noun is egregiousness. A
gregarious is person who likes to be with the herd, who reaches out for
friend, and is happiest when surrounded by people. Extroverts are of
course gregarious-they prefer human contact, conversation, laughter,
interrelationships, to solitude. The suffix -ness, as you know, can be added
to an adjective to construct a noun form. Write the noun from gregarious
________.
Add the prefix con- = with, together to" grex", "gregis", to get the
verb congregate; add the prefix se- = apart, to build the verb segregate;
add the prefix ad- = to, toward (ad-changes to "ag-"before a root starting
with g-), to construct the verb aggregate, let us see what we have. When
people gather together in a herd or flock, they (write the verb)
__________. The noun is congregation, one of the meanings of which is a
religious "flock". Put people or things apart from the herd, and you (write
the verb) _________them. Bring individual items to or toward the herd or
flock, and you (write the verb) ________them. What is the noun form of
this verb?

CHAPTER FIVE
WORDS RELATED TO "TICKLING" AND
"FLATTERING"
The word "titillate" comes from a Latin verb meaning to 'tickle',
and may be used both literally and figuratively. That is (literally), you can
titillate by gentle touches in strategic places, you are then causing an actual
(and always very pleasant) physical sensation. Or you can (figuratively)
titillate people, or their minds, fancies, palates (and this is the more
common use of the word), by charm, brilliance, wit, promises, or in any
other way your imagination can conceive. Titillation has the added meaning
of light sexual stimulation.
A compliment is a pleasant and courteous expression of praise;
"flattery" is stronger than a compliment and often considered insincere.
Adulation is flattery and worship carried to an excessive, ridiculous
degree. There are often public figures (entertainers, musicians, government
officials, etc.) who receive widespread adulation, but those who are not in
the public eye can also be adulated, as a teacher by students, a wife by
husband (and vice versa), a doctor by patients, and so on. The derivation is
from a Latin verb meaning to fawn upon.
The adjective adulatory ends in "-ory", a suffix we are meeting for
the first time in these pages. Other adjective suffixes we are familiar with so
far are (-al, -ic, -ical, -ous.).
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
١٠٥
Proscribe, to forbid, is commonly used for medical, religious, or
legal prohibitions. A doctor proscribes a food, drug, or activity that might
prove harmful to the patient. The church proscribes, or announces a
proscription against, such activities as may harm its parishioners. The law
proscribes behavior detrimental to the public welfare. The derivation is the
prefix "pro-", before, plus "scribe", "scriptus " which means to write.
Scribo, Scriptus, is the building block of scores of common English words:
scribe, scribble, prescribe, describe, script, the scriptures, manuscript,
typescript. etc. Describe uses the prefix "de-", down - to describe is,
etymologically, "to write downon or about". Manuscript, combining
"manus", which means hand (as in manual labor), with scriptus,which
means something handwritten-the word was coined before the invention of
the typewriter. The scriptures are holy writings.
To "subscribe" is to write one's name under an order or contract
(sub-, under, as in subway, subsurface, etc.); to subscribe to philosophy or
a principle is figuratively to write one's name under the statement of such
philosophy or principle. To inscribe is to write in or into (a book, for
example, or metal or stone). A postscript is something written after (Latin
post, means after) the main part is finished.
You are familiar with the word "via", by way of, which is from the
Latin word for road. (The via Apia was one of the famous highways of
ancient Roman times). When something is obvious, etymologically it is
right there in the middle of the road where no one can fail to see it - hence,
easily seen, not hidden, conspicuous. And if you meet an obstacle in the
road and dispose of it forthwith, you are doing what obviate says. Thus, if
you review your work daily in some college subject, frenzied "cramming"
at the end of the semester will be obviated. A large and steady income
obviates fears of financial insecurity . Leaving for work early will obviate
worry about being late. To obviate, then, is to make unnecessary, to do
away with, to prevent by taking effective measures or steps against (an
occurrence, a feeling, a requirement, etc.) The noun is obviation.

١٠٦
Militate derives from "Militis" one of the forms of the Latin noun
meaning "soldier" or "fighting man". If something militates against you, it
fights against you i.e., works to your disadvantage. Thus, your timidity may
militate against your keeping your friends. Militate is always followed by
the preposition against and, like obviate, never takes a personal subject -
you don't militate against anyone, but some habit, action, tendency, etc.
The adjective militant comes from the same root. A militant reformer is one
who fights for reforms; a militant campaign is one waged aggressively and
with determination. The noun is militancy, and militant is also a noun for
the person example: "Sally is a militant in the women's liberation
movement".
BAD NEWS
Being built on Latin Malus which means bad, evil ,the verb to
malign is to speak evil about, to defame, to slander. Malign is also an
adjective meaning bad, harmful, evil, hateful, as in "the malign influence of
his unconscious will is to fail". Another adjective form is malignant as in
"a malignant glance" i.e., one showing deep hatred, or "a malignant
growth", i.e., one that is cancerous (bad). The noun of malignant is
malignancy which, medically, is a cancerous growth, or, generally, the
condition, state, or attitude of harmfulness, hatefulness, evil intent, etc. The
noun form of the adjective malign is malignity.

١٠٧
Observe how English words can be constructed by combining malus
with other Latin roots. Add the root dico, dictus, to say or tell, to form
malediction, a curse, i.e., an evil saying. Adjective, maledictory. And the
root "volvo" (to wish, to will, or to be willing) and we can construct the
adjective malevolent, wishing evil or harm - a malevolent glance, attitude,
feeling, etc. The noun is malevolence. Add the root facio, factus, to do or
make (also spelled, in English words fec-, fic-, factus, or, as a verb ending,
-fy), to form the adjective maleficent, doing harm or evil, or causing hurt-
maleficent acts, deeds, behavior. A malefactor is a wrongdoer, an evildoer,
a criminal - a malefactor commits a malefaction, a crime, an evil deed. The
Latin malus stands for the French word mal which means bad, the source
of maladroit, clumsy, bungling, awkward, unskillful, etymologically,
having a bad right hand (see adroit). The noun is maladroitness. Also from
French "mal",Malaise, an indefinite feeling of bodily discomfort, as in a
mild illness, or as a symptom preceding an illness; etymologically, "bad
ease" just as disease is "lack of ease".
Other common words that you are familiar with also spring from
Latin Malus: malicious, malice, malady, and the same malus functions as a
prefix in words like maladjusted, malcontent, malpractice, malnutrition,
etc., all with connection of badness.

Origins and Related words:
"malus" is bad; "bonus" is good, the adverb from the Latin adjective
"bonus" is "bene", and "bene" is the root found in words that contrast with
the mal - terms we studied in the previous session.
So "benign" and "benignant" are, kindly, good-natured, not
harmful, as in benign neglect, a benign judge, a benign humor, a benignant
attitude to malefactors and scoundrels. The nouns are benignity and
benignancy.
A "malediction" is a curse; a benediction is a blessing, a "saying
good". The adjective is benedictory. In contrast to maleficent is
"beneficent", in contrast to malefactor is benefactor, one who does good
things for another. If you insist on making sexual distinctions, a woman
who so operates is a benefactress. And, of course, the person receiving the
benefaction is a beneficiary. Benefit and beneficial are other common
words built on the combination of "bene" and a form of facio, to do or
make. The adjective "bonus" good is found in English bonus-extra
payment, theoretically, for some good act. "Bona fide", etymologically "in
good faith" without pretense, deception or fraudulent intent-as bona fide
offer, a bona fide effort to negotiate differences. "Fides" is from Latin for
faith or trust, as in fidelity; Fido a stereotypical name for a dog one's
faithful friend or a person's faithful friend; "infidel" a person who doesn't
have the right faith or religion; and infidelity, unfaithfulness, especially to
the marriage vows.

١١٤
Benediction and malediction derive from dico, dictus - (to say), (to
tell). Dictate, dictation, dictatorial - words that signify telling others what
to do-are built on dico, as is predict, to tell before hand (pre-, before, as in
prescient); the brand name Dictaphone combines dico with phone (sound);
contradict, to say against, or to make an opposite statement (don't
contradict me!) combines dico with contra-, against, opposite; and
addiction, etymologically "a saying to or toward", or compulsion to say
"yes" to a habit, combines dico with ad-, to, toward.
Facio, factus to do or make as in( malefactor, benefactor), has, as
noted, variant spellings in English words: fec-, fic-, or as a verb ending, -fy.
Thus factory is a place where things are made (-ory, place where); a fact is
something done (i.e., something that occurs, or exists, or is, therefore,
true); fiction, something made up or invented; manufacture; to make by
hand (manus, hand, as in manuscript, manual); and clarify, simplify,
liquefy, magnify, (to make clear, simple, liquid, larger) among hundreds of
other -fy verbs.
Volvo, to wish, to will, to be willing (as in malevolent, benevolent
), occurs in voluntary, involuntary, volunte; these words are too familiar to
need definition, and each quite obviously expressing wish or willingness.
Less common and from the same root, is volition, the act or power of
willing or wishing, as in "of her own volition".

١١٥
Placate is built on the root plac -which derives from two related
Latin verbs meaning (
١) to please and (٢) appease, soothe, or pacify, the
noun is placation, the adjective either placative or placatory. A more
placatory attitude to those you have offended may help you regain their
friendship, implacable, im- is a respelling of in-, not, before the latter p.
One who can be soothed, whose hostility can be changed to friendliness, is
placable, implacable has taken on the added meaning of unyielding to
entreaty or pity; hence, harsh, relentless, as "the governor was implacable
in his refusal to grant clemency". The noun form of implacable is
implacability. Can you guess the noun derived from placable?
If you are placid, you are clam, easygoing, serene, undisturbed-
etymologically, you are pleased with things as they are. Waters of a lake or
sea, or the emotional atmosphere of a place, can also be placid. The noun
is placidity. If you are complacent, you are pleased with yourself (com-,
from con-, with, together); you may, in fact, such is one common
connotation of the word, be smug, too pleased with your position or
narrow accomplishments, too easily self-satisfied, and the hour of
reckoning may be closer than you realize. The noun is complacence or
complacency.
To condone is to forgive, overlook, pardon, or be uncritical of (an
offense, or of an antisocial or illegal act). You might or might not indulge
in such behavior or commit such an offense, but you feel no urge to
protest, or to demand censure or punishment for someone also who hatres
you. You may condone cheating on one's income tax, though you
personally observe the law with scrupulousness. (Not everyone, however,
is so charitable or forgiving). The noun is condonation. Condone is built on
Latin dono, to give, the root found in donor,which means a person who
gives, donates ; and donation is a gift.

Chapter Six
Persons and personalities
What kinds of people might you find yourself in conversation with? Here
are some ideas:
١. Taciturn: People who neither like to talk nor to listen. They act as if
conversation is a bore, even a painful waste of time.
٢. Laconic: Using few words. Economical in the use of words almost to
the point of curtness.
٣. Inarticulate: people who undoubtedly have a lot that they want to say,
but the best they can do is spatter.
٤. Garrulous: habitually talking too much about unimportant things. The
adverb is "garrulously" , and the noun is "garrulity and
garrulousness".
٥. Banal: some people are completely lacking in originality and
imagination and their talk shows it. Every thing they say is trite,
hackneyed, common place, humorless, their speech patterns are full
of clichés and their phraseology is without sparkle.
٦. Verbose: they talk and talk and talk, it is not so much quantity you
object to as the repetitiousness, they use far more words than
necessary.
٧. Voluble: they are rapid, fluent talkers, the words seeming to roll off
their tongues with such ease and lack of effort and sometimes with
copiousness.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version
١٤٦
٨. Cogent: they express their ideas persuasively, forcefully, brilliantly, and
in a way that calls for wholehearted assent and argument from an
intelligent listener. The noun is "cogency".
٩. Vociferous: their talk is loud, noisy, clamorous, vehement. What may
be lacking in content is compensated for in force and loudness. The
verb is "vociforate".
١٠. Loquacious: they may be voluble, vociferous, garrulous, verbose, but
never inaritculate, taciturn, or laconic. It is quantity and continuity
that are most conspicuous. The noun is (loquacity or loquaciousness).
Origins and Related Words
Taciturn is from a Latin word" taceo" which means "to be silent"
and it is one of those words whose full meaning cannot be expressed by any
other combination of syllables. It has many synonyms, among them silent,
uncommunicative, reticent, reserved, secretive, close-lipped, and close-
mouthed, but no other word indicates the permanent, habitual, and
temperamental disinclination to talk implied by "taciturn". Tacit derives
also from taceo - example "a tacit agreement" (nothing of the agreement is
ever actually said). Anything tacit, then, is unspoken, unsaid, not
verbalized. The noun is "tacitness". Changing "a" of the root taceo to "i",
and adding the prefix re-, again and the adjective suffix -ent, we can
construct the English word reticent which means a person who prefers to
keep silent, whether out of shyness, embarrassment, or fear of revealing
what should not be revealed.

Loquacious people love to talk. This adjective is not necessarily a
put-down, but the implication, when you so characterize such people, is
that you wish they would pause for breath once in a while so that you can
get your licks in. The noun is loquacity, or,of course, loquaciousness. The
word derives from Latin loquor, to speak, a root found also in : soliloquy-
a speech to oneself (loquor plus solus, alone), or, etymologically, a speech
when alone. Soliloquist stands for a person and the verb is "soliloquize".
The ventriloquist appears to talk from the belly (venter, ventris plus
loquor) rather than through the lips (or such was the strange perception of
the person who first was the word).
Venter, ventris,which means belly, is the root on which ventral and
ventricle are built. The ventral side of an animal, for example, is the front
or anterior side-the belly side. A ventricle is a hallow organ or cavity, or,
logically enough, belly, as one of the two chambers of the heart, or one of
the four chambers of the brain, the ventricles of the heart are the lower
chambers, and receive blood from the auricles, or upper chambers, the
auricle, so named because it is somewhat ear-shaped (Latin, auris, ear),
receives blood from the veins; the auricles send the blood into the
ventricles, which in turn pump the blood into the arteries. The adjective
form of ventricle is ventricular which may refer to a ventricle, or may mean
having a belly-like bulge. Can you figure out the adjective of auricle?

Traditionally or stereotypically uncles are generally kindly, permissive,
indulgent, protective, and often give helpful advice. So anyone who
exhibits one or more of such traits to another (usually younger) person is
avuncular or acts in an avuncular capacity.
If there is a front or belly side, anatomically, there must be a reverse
- a back side. This is the dorsal side, from Latin dorsum, the root on which
the verb endorse is built. If you endorse a check, you sign it on the back
side; if you endorse a plan, an idea, etc., you back it, you express your
approval or support. The noun is endorsement.
Vociferous derives from Latin" vox, vocis, voice", plus" fero", to
carry. A vociferous rejoinder carries a lot of voice - i.e. it is vehement,
loud, noisy, too clamorous, shouting. The noun is vociferousness; the verb
is to vociferate. Can you form the noun derived from the verb?
__________________________.
The root fero is found also in somniferous, carrying, bearing, or
bringing sleep. So a somniferous lecture is dull and boring that it is sleep
inducing. Fero is combined with somnus = sleep, in somniferous. What
part of speech does the suffix "-ous" indicate ? ___________________

Tack on the negative prefix in- to somnus to construct insomnia, the
abnormal inability to fall asleep when sleep is required or desired. The
unfortunate victim to this disability is an insomniac, the adjective is
insomnious. So -ous, in case you could not answer the question in the
preceding paragraph, is an adjective suffix.
Add a different adjective suffix to somnus to derive somnolent =
sleepy, drowsy. Can you construct the noun form of somnolent?
____________________ or ____________________ . Combine somnus
with ambulo to walk, and you have somnambulism, walking in one's sleep.
Write
the
term
for
the
person
who
is
a
sleepwalker
_________________________________________________.
An ambulatory patient, as in a hospital or convalescent home, is
finally well enough to get out of bed and walk around. A perambulator, a
word used more in England than in the US., and often shortened to pram,
is a baby carriage, a vehicle for walking an infant through the streets (per-
through). To perambulate is, etymologically, "to walk through"; hence, to
stroll around. Can you write the noun form of this verb?
_______________________.
To amble is to walk aimlessly; an ambulance is so called because
originally it was composed of two stretcher-bearers who walked off the
battle field with a wounded soldier; and a preamble is, by etymology,
something that "walks before" (pre-, before, before hand), hence an
introduction or introductory statement, as the preamble to the US.
constitution ("We the people ......."), a preamble to the speech, etc.; or any
event that is introductory or preliminary to another, as in "An increase in
inflationary factors in the economy is often a preamble to a drop in the
stock market."

Somnus is one Latin word for sleep; sopor is another. A soporific
lecture, speaker, style of delivery, etc. will put the audience to sleep (fic-
from facio, to make), and a soporific is a sleeping pill.
You know that" -ness "can be added to any adjective to construct
the
noun
form.
Write
the
noun
derived
from
inarticulate?
_________________________. Inarticulate is a combination of the
negative prefix in- and Latin articulus, a joint. The inarticulate person has
trouble joining words together coherently. If you are quite articulate, on the
other hand, you join your words together easily, you are verbal, vocal,
possibly even voluble. The verb to articulate is to join (words), i.e., to
express your vocal sounds - as in "please articulate more clearly.".
Another, and very common, noun suffix attached to adjectives is, as
you have discovered, -ity. So the noun form of banal is either banalness, or
more commonly, banality. Bear in mind, then, that -ness and -ity are
common noun suffixes attached to adjectives, and -ion (or -ation) is a noun
suffix frequently affixed to verbs e.g to articulate/articulation, to
vocalize/vocalization; to perambulate/perambulation.
