WTF Etymology ?

Question

my teacher assigned this assuming i knew it

i have no idea what I'm doing.

altus (high, deep) - altimeter (alti+meter)

am, amor (love liking) - amorous (amor+ us)

anni, annv, enni (year) - anniversary (anni+vers+ ary)

anthrop (man) - philanthropic (phil+ abthrop+ ic)

arch (chief, first, ruler) - matriarchy (matri+arch+y)

aster, astr (star) - astronomy (astr+nomy)

if you can do some, that would be great.

but more likely explain what the h**l i'm suppose to do?

Answer 1

Is your assignment to keep making lists like this?

*Greek or Latin word(meaning) - English word (pieces with +)

algia (pain) - nostalgia (nost + algia)  ?

That I could do--and explaining involves a good college level dictionary.
