5.5. Latin and Greek Borrowings in English
In such a way all Latin and Greek borrowings in English can be described.
Students might enjoy using their knowledge of morphemes by playing lots of word games. In one of them players may combine roots and affixes and try to come up with the correct word.

Conclusions:
The more Latin and Greek elements students learn the greater will be their proficiency with English words.
Any analytical and synthetic analysis of morphemes and coinages add to better remembering the words and their correct use and interpretation. Thereupon special theoretical and practical sources should be available.
Special tasks are considered expedient for every area of science and engineering.
Word-consciousness is the most effective and productive way to excel and enrich vocabulary.
