Readers can use a word’s root to recognize its main meaning, and its ending to identify a suffix that changes or adds to that meaning. The word’s part of speech—such as noun or verb—can also help narrow down how it is used. Whether a word is formal or how long someone speaks does not reveal its meaning by itself.
