Rootwise: Root Vocabulary

Most long English words are built from Latin and Greek parts. Learn the parts, and you can work out words you have never seen. Rootwise teaches one root a day. SPECT means "to look". Now inspect, spectator and retrospect make sense, and so does circumspect: careful, looking all around before acting.
