Zorluk: OrtaGreek Roots

Complete the statement by identifying the missing Greek root.

Cevap:The Greek root 【path】, which signifies 'feeling', 'emotion', or 'suffering', serves as the core morpheme in words such as *empathy*, *sympathy*, and *apathy*.

Cevap

path (or pathos / patho)
The Greek root *path* (or *pathos*) means feeling, suffering, or disease. It combines with prefixes to form words such as *empathy* (feeling into), *sympathy* (feeling together with), and *apathy* (without feeling).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the common morphological base of the sample words: *empathy*, *sympathy*, and *apathy*.
All three words share the common base segment 'path'.
Identifying the recurring morpheme isolates the root shared across the semantic family.
2
Connect the root to its etymological definition meaning 'feeling' or 'suffering'.
The Greek root *path* (from *pathos*) translates directly to feeling, emotion, or suffering.
Validating the definition confirms that *path* accurately completes the morphological statement.
