Word Part Clues to Meanings

     If you can’t figure out words from context clues, another way is to learn word parts: prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Prefixes are groups of letters with meanings that appear in front of a word; suffixes appear at the end of a word. The root or stem is the basic part of a word. Learning meanings of word parts can save you time and increase your word power.
