Meaning<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out a word&#8217;s meaning, break it down into its root and any prefixes or suffixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1: <\/strong><strong><em>Retrospect<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>retro-<\/em> (prefix meaning &#8220;backward&#8221;) + <em>spect<\/em> (root meaning &#8220;look&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therefore, <em>retrospect<\/em> means &#8220;to look back on something.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Sentence:<\/em> In <em>retrospect<\/em>, I wish I had studied harder for the test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2: <\/strong><strong><em>Biology<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>bio-<\/em> (root meaning &#8220;life&#8221;) + <em>-logy<\/em> (suffix meaning &#8220;study of&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therefore, <em>biology<\/em> means &#8220;the study of life.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Sentence:<\/em> She is fascinated by <em>biology<\/em>, especially the study of marine animals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 3: <\/strong><strong><em>Audible<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>aud-<\/em> (root meaning &#8220;hear&#8221;) + <em>-ible<\/em> (suffix meaning &#8220;able to&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Therefore, <em>audible<\/em> means &#8220;able
