•Aroma once meant a spice. Spices have strong and pleasantsmells, and in time themeaningof the word changed. An aromabecamethepleasantsmellofthespice rather than the spice itself.Laterthewordcametomeananysmell, but especially one that ispleasant.

•Thewordexport is formed fromtheLatinprefixex-, meaning“out,”andtheLatin rootport, meaning “carry.”Goodsbeingexported are carried by boat or plane out ofthecountry. The antonym of export is import. To import goods is to bring them into a country. (TheUnited States imports many cars fromJapan.)

•TheLatintractus means“drawn”or“pulled”andformstherootofsev-eral English words. A tractor is a vehicleusedtopullfarmmachin-ery. A protracted explanation isonethatisdrawnoutandgoesontoo long.This root joinswith theLatinprefixex-,meaning“out,” toformthewordextract.

•The adjective tropical is formedfrom the word tropic. The TropicofCancerand theTropicofCap-ricorn are two imaginary linesgoing around the earth, northandsouthoftheequator.Theyarethree thousand miles apart, andthe area of the world betweenthem is called the tropics. Mostof Africa and Central and SouthAmerica and parts of Asia are inthetropics.
