word | prefix | root | definition
disconnect | dis | connect | to separate or break
embed | em | bed |
invisible | in | visible | you c
imprison | | |
discourage | | |
Response
To solve for the missing parts (prefix, root, definition) of each word, we analyze word structure (prefix + root = word, and use prefix/root meanings for definition):
embed
- Prefix: em (means "in" or "into")
- Root: bed (relates to "place" or "put")
- Definition: To put or fix firmly into a surrounding mass (e.g., embed a stone in concrete).
invisible
- Definition: You cannot see it (since in- means "not" and visible means "able to be seen").
imprison
- Prefix: im (means "in" or "into")
- Root: prison (a place of confinement)
- Definition: To put in or keep in prison; confine.
discourage
- Prefix: dis (means "opposite" or "undo")
- Root: courage (bravery, spirit)
- Definition: To take away courage or confidence from; dishearten.
Filled Table:
| Word | Prefix | Root | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| embed | em | bed | To put/fix firmly into a mass |
| invisible | in | visible | You cannot see it |
| imprison | im | prison | To put/keep in prison; confine |
| discourage | dis | courage | To dishearten; take away confidence |
