| 00:03 | appear so . Group man , Why have you trapped | |
| 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 , | |
| 00:29 | your skills or abnormal . And it bothers me abnormal | |
| 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 | |
| 00:59 | get that fancy English class word . Pom Nisshin . | |
| 01:02 | Are you making fun of me ? That's ridiculous . | |
| 01:05 | Hmm . Ridiculous . Did you know that writ is | |
| 01:11 | the Latin root ? That means laugh . Your word | |
| 01:14 | ridiculous contains the root for laughter . Similar to the | |
| 01:17 | word duration , which basically means to mock someone . | |
| 01:22 | Are there any rude words involved with being dropped into | |
| 01:25 | a lava pit ? Of course dot But I get | |
| 01:29 | the feeling that you don't really want to know . | |

| 01:43 | EPT . Oh girl First to my powers , I | |
| 01:45 | am super strong . I have the strength of seven | |
| 01:48 | people . That's what I thought . Since excepto is | |
| 01:52 | the Latin word , that means seven . It looks | |
| 01:55 | like you need Greek and Latin roots after all . | |
| 01:57 | Zipped Oh girl . Just like Aquaman and Hydro man | |
| 02:01 | whose powers both relate to water or asked for a | |
| 02:04 | man whose power comes from stars . Wow , I | |
