About Vocabulary
English holds well over a quarter of a million entries in a large dictionary, yet most everyday conversation runs on a few thousand words. The pieces on this page explain how the rest get built: a root carries the core sense, a prefix bends it, a suffix shifts its job from noun to verb to adjective. A thesaurus groups near-matches, a glossary defines terms for one book. Learn the parts, and unfamiliar words stop being strangers.
Reach for this in a language arts lesson on word parts, or when a student meets a long unfamiliar word and needs a way to break it apart.
