→ latin roots
latin is one of the root languages you will encounter most often in english. knowing the meanings of common latin word parts can help you determine the definitions of unfamiliar words.
for example, the word extract can be broken down into two main parts, the prefix ex - and the base word tract. both come from latin. ex - means \out of\ or \away from.\ tract means \to draw\ or \to pull.\ when they are put together, you get the word extract, which means \to draw or pull out.\

Explanation:

1. "Surface, shallow, insubstantial" relate to "superficial" which implies existing on the surface or lacking depth.
2. "Unreasonable, expensive, high" match "exorbitant" which means unreasonably high in price.
3. "Remove, tug, pry" are associated with "extract" which means to draw or pull out.
4. "Required, important, necessary" correspond to "mandatory" which means required or compulsory.
5. "Needy, without, underprivileged" are connected to "deprivation" which implies being deprived of something.

For the chart:

• "Exorbitant": Prefix "ex -" (out of), root "orbit" (path or track), suffix "-ant" (action or condition). Combined definition: going out of the normal path (in terms of price). Dictionary definition: unreasonably high in price.
• "Deprivation": Root "deprive", suffix "-ation" (condition or state). Combined definition: the state of being deprived. Dictionary definition: the lack or denial of something considered necessary.
• "Superficial": Prefix "super -" (above or on top of), suffix "-ial" (related to or characterized by). Combined definition: related to being on the top or surface. Dictionary definition: existing or occurring at or on the surface; lacking depth of character or understanding.
• "Mandatory": Root "mandate", suffix "-ory" (related to or characterized by). Combined definition: related to a mandate (command). Dictionary definition: required; compulsory.
