Latin and Greek Root Words: Juris and Vid
L
atin and Greek are the source of many root words in English.
Juris/jur/jus/just comes from the Latin word meaning “law”
or “judge.” Vid/vis is from another Latin word meaning
“see.” When combined with a prefix, suffix or another root word,
these words become common English words. For example, -ify is a
suffix meaning “to make” or “to become.” Combine just with -ify,
and you have the word justify. Based on its original meaning, justify
means “become law” or to show something is right.
Use the list of suffixes, prefixes, and root words in the word bank to
make five different English words out of juris/jur/jus/just and vid/vis.
You may add an additional prefix or a suffix, or change the spelling a
little if needed. Write a sentence for each word you make and circle
the word you made from the root word. Be sure and find words for
both juris/jur/jus/just and vid/vis.
