Question

how would a student justify inferring that \indigenous\ means \originating in a particular region\?
the word root \gen\ means \earth,\ and the suffix \-ous\ means \someone who does something.\
the word root \gen\ means \birth,\ and the suffix \-ous\ means \having the quality of something.\
the word root \gen\ means \body,\ and the suffix \-ous\ means \the state or condition of something.\
the word root \gen\ means
ule,\ and the suffix \-ous\ means \being filled up with something.\

Explanation:

The root "gen" relates to birth or origin. "Indigenous" implies being native or originating from a place. The suffix "-ous" indicates having a certain quality. So, "indigenous" can be understood as having the quality of originating (from birth - related to the root "gen") in a particular region.

Answer:

The word root "gen" means "birth," and the suffix "-ous" means "having the quality of something."
