Directions: Derivation. The prefix con- (com-, co-), identical with the preposition
cum (with), added to simple verbs makes many compounds both in Latin and English.
This prefix sometimes means with or together, and sometimes strengthens the simple
verb with the meaning completely, forcibly. What is the force of this prefix in the
following words?
1. contain (teneō)
6. convene (veniō)
2. convoke (convocō)
7. conserve (servō)
3. collaborate (labōrō)
8. conduct (dūcō)
4. compete (petō)
9. commit (mittō)
5. convince (vincō)
1. The final letter of the prefix is often assimilated (made like) to the first letter of the simple verb.

Tum Ariadnē Thēseum in nōtum labyrinthum indūcit et eī longum fīlum1 dat et
dīcit: “Tenē id fīlum. Fīlum vestigia2 tua reget3 et ex labyrinthō tē4 ēdūcet. Nunc
properā. Mīnōtaurum audiō. Num timēs? Eī fortiter resiste et clāra erit victōria tua.
Vince et servā vītam puerōrum puellārumque Graeciae.” Mox Thēseus Mīnōtaurum
videt et petit5. Diū pugnātur6 nec sine magnō perīculō. Dēnique Mīnōtaurus superātur,
et posteā puerī puellaeque servantur.
String. 2 Steps. 3 Guide. 4 You. 5 Attack. 6 The form pugnātur means it is fought; translate freely, the
battle is fought or the contest rages. The verb pugnō in Latin is intransitive, and so has no personal
subject in the passive. A verb with an indeterminate subject is called impersonal, as in English it rains.
