00:08 | me here ? Because I hate that you know so | |
00:11 | much about Greek and Latin root words . And for | |
00:14 | that you must pay . But knowing the roots of | |
00:17 | words can help you understand the meanings of new or | |
00:19 | unfamiliar words . Most of the best words out there | |
00:23 | are built from Greek and Latin roots . I don't | |
00:26 | care . I never could understand all that stuff , | |

00:34 | . Did you know that the root of that word | |
00:36 | means away from or not ? The first two letters | |
00:39 | of that word tell us that abnormal describes away from | |
00:42 | or not normal ? Your powers won't work on me | |
00:46 | . I am a scientist , not an English Titian | |
00:50 | . Apparently , that's not a real word . But | |
00:53 | did you know that the root see in scientist means | |
00:57 | no , er , knowledge ? It's how we also | |

01:55 | like you need Greek and Latin roots after all . | |
01:57 | Zipped Oh girl . Just like Aquaman and Hydro man | |
