Greek Prefixes

Many prefixes (word beginnings) stem from Greek words. For example, the prefix, anti- is an Ancient Greek word meaning against, and so today we have words like:antifreeze-liquid used in the radiator of motor cars to prevent freezing

antiseptic relating to ointment that prevents a cut going septic (infected)

antisocial behaviour that is not sociable and is offensive to others

Similarly, the prefix, mono- is from the Greek word monos meaning alone, and so we have words like:

monologue a speech by one actor in a play

monocycle a cycle with a single wheel used by acrobats (also known as a unicycle)

monocle a single eyeglass or lens

Use a large dictionary to out of the original Greek meanings of the prefixes below, and then think of words we use today that have similar letters and meanings. The first line has been done for you.

Latin Prefixes

The Ancient Greeks are not the only people we should thank for giving us so many of our prefixes. Many other words we use today have their origins in Latin around 50% of our language, in fact. So learning Latin at school really can help to improve your English.

Latin is a rich and fascinating language and one that is still important in many professions today. Lawyers, scientists, doctors and historians all benefit from understanding some Latin.

Here are some Latin words and their meanings. Can you see how the related English words have been influenced by them?
