Match each Latin or Greek affix or root morpheme on the left with its corresponding morphological meaning on the right.
- Prefix "ante-"Before, preceding, or prior in time or position (e.g., anteroom, antedate)
- Root "graph-" / "-gram"Written, drawn, recorded, or graphic representation (e.g., telegraph, diagram)
- Suffix "-cide"Action of killing, destruction, or an agent that kills (e.g., insecticide, homicide)
- Prefix "trans-"Across, beyond, through, or on the other side of (e.g., transatlantic, transport)
Answer
Prefix "ante-" matches with "Before, preceding, or prior in time or position"; Root "graph-" / "-gram" matches with "Written, drawn, recorded, or graphic representation"; Suffix "-cide" matches with "Action of killing, destruction, or an agent that kills"; Prefix "trans-" matches with "Across, beyond, through, or on the other side of".
Each morpheme is correctly mapped to its classical root/affix meaning: "ante-" means before or prior; "graph-" / "-gram" means writing or drawing; "-cide" means killing or killer; and "trans-" means across or beyond.
