Difficulty: EasyRoot Word Analysis

Understanding core Greek and Latin word roots helps clarify the definitions of unfamiliar terms. What is the accurate definition for each root-derived vocabulary word listed below?

  • EjectTo force or throw out from a place
  • RuptureTo break or burst open suddenly
  • TransmitTo send across or pass along to another
  • ReviseTo look over again in order to improve

Answer

Eject corresponds to 'To force or throw out from a place', Rupture corresponds to 'To break or burst open suddenly', Transmit corresponds to 'To send across or pass along to another', and Revise corresponds to 'To look over again in order to improve'.
Each vocabulary word directly reflects its underlying Latin root: 'ject' signifies throwing (eject = throw out), 'rupt' signifies breaking (rupture = break open), 'mit' signifies sending (transmit = send across), and 'vis' signifies seeing (revise = look over again).

Eject contains 'ject' (to throw), Rupture contains 'rupt' (to break), Transmit contains 'mit' (to send), and Revise contains 'vis' (to see or look)
Identifying the root allows one to determine the foundational meaning of each word
2
Align each term with the definition that reflects its root meaning
All four vocabulary words are paired with their exact synonym definitions
