<strong>Generalization</strong>:<br />
Latin Roots<br />
serv, spec/spect<br />
Roots are meaningful parts <strong>of</strong> words to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes) are added.<br />
Spelling, syllabication, and derivational generalizations are used when adding affixes to<br />
roots.<br />
serv = to serve, save, keep<br />
spec/spect = look at, examine<br />
Note: Word roots are bound morphemes. Usually they are dependent and cannot stand<br />
alone without an affix. Base words and root words are free morphemes. They are<br />
independent and can stand alone<br />
