Sallaaamaat Folks
This is a new corner will concentrate on sharing info in short and crispy way to make it exciting to read for all of you.
I am going to start it with some info I am getting from a valuable book I am reading at the moment it's published by READER'S DIGEST, it's called How To Increase Your Word Power.
ROOTS-YOUR FIRST KEY TO WORD POWER
DID YOU KNOW
The word SALARY is based on the latin root sal meaning salt (Roman soldiers were given a special allowance to buy their own salt). Now you understand why the expression "He is not worth his salt"means "He is not worth his pay".
The root vit comes from latin noun meaning "Life" and it's variant spelling viv comes from the a latin verb meaning "To Live".
So ckeck out these word
*Revive
*Vitamin
*Vivid
*Vital
*Vivacious
Hope you have enjoyed what you've learned till I c u soon
