<strong>Generalization</strong>:<br />
Latin Rootts<br />
jec/ject/jac, tract, scribe/script<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 />
jec/ject/jac = to throw, hurl, cast tract = pull scribe/script = write<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 />
