support
(once / 33 pages)

The verb support means to bear weight or load, or otherwise support. If you build a house with blocks, you can safely remove some of them, but if you remove one that is supporting the weight of the blocks above it, the whole structure can collapse. Timber!
If you agree with or approve of a cause, person, idea, or the like, you support it. If you support a certain charity, you may donate your time or money to the cause. The verb support also means to strengthen with new evidence; to corroborate. When politicians make an argument, they support it by providing "facts and figures." Your job is to figure out whether their evidence has been twisted to support their positions. Good luck.

List of the Week: Learn Latin Roots!
Learn "Latin Love, Volume 1," five new lists of words derived from the Latin roots "vocare," "portare," "sci," "struere," and "via." 
These lists were created for Vocabulary.com by nationally recognized literacy consultant Amy Benjamin to fulfill ELA Common Core State Standard "Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word." Each list teaches one important Latin root and empowers you to use that root to decode words on and off the list.
  • "Latin Love: 'Portare'" Learn how the Latin root “portare" (“to carry”) relates to the meanings of words like report (carried back) and support (carried under). The root "port" also has to do with doorways, as in portal.
  • "Latin Love: 'Sci'" The root of this "knowledge" word tree usually appears as "sci." Its most famous branch is the word science.
  • "Latin Love: 'Struere'" Many words are constructed from the Latin root "struere," meaning "to build" or "to assemble." Whenever you see "stru" built in to a word, think of how the word relates to the concept of building.
  • "Latin Love: 'Via'" In Latin, the word for "road" or "way" is "via." True to our roots, in English, we say that we go from New York to Florida via Interstate Highway 95.
