A year ago I asked for some info on a movie I saw twenty years ago.
Nothing so obscure with this request, but it is rather lame.
In grade school I had a science teacher who made us memorize what various parts of a word mean. That's a lame definition, but you'll see what I mean below.
Most have slipped my mind over the years, but a few have stuck with me.
auto = self
graph = write
ology = study of
morph = change
bio = life
tele = far, distant
astro = star
The theory being this: if you didn't know what 'autobiography" meant, you could decipher its meaning just by consulting the list.
If anyone knows where I can find a comprehensive list, drop me a line.
