New Word-Analysis / Or, School Etymology of English Derivative Words

A practical school manual of English word-analysis that introduces etymology and the elements of the English vocabulary, then explains prefixes, suffixes, and spelling rules used to form derivatives. Material is arranged by linguistic source—Latin, Greek, and Anglo‑Saxon—with methods, directions for study, and extensive lists of roots alongside their English offshoots. The book includes an abbreviated reference of derivatives, exercises in spelling, analysis, definition, synonyms, and usage, and miscellaneous sections on words from personal and place names and on etymologies of terms used in common school subjects, all geared to classroom practice and systematic pupil work.
