2)I investigated into spelling rules of six of these and demonstrating how they are applied
Let's investigate the spelling rules for the following three words:
1. Accommodate
2. Separate
3. Necessary
*Accommodate*
- Spelling rule: Double consonant rule
- Investigation: The word "accommodate" has a double "c" and a double "m". This is because the root
word "accommod-" comes from the Latin "accomodare", which means "to fit in". The double
consonants indicate that the preceding vowel is short.
- Application: When adding the suffix "-ate" to the root word "accommod-", the double consonants are
retained to maintain the correct pronunciation.
*Separate*
- Spelling rule: Word family pattern
- Investigation: The word "separate" belongs to a word family that includes "separ-", "separation", and
"separative". This word family comes from the Latin "separare",
*Necessary*
- Spelling rule: Greek and Latin roots
- Investigation: The word "necessary" comes from the Latin "necessarius", which is derived from the
Greek "anankaios" (ἀναγκαῖος). The Greek root "anank-" means "necessary" or "compulsory".
- Application: The spelling of "necessary" reflects its Greek and Latin roots, with the prefix "nec-"
indicating a connection to the Latin "necessarius".
_Already_
- Spelling rule: Prefix and root word combination
- Investigation: The word "already" consists of the prefix "al-" (meaning "all" or "completely") and the
root word "ready" (coming from the Old English "ræd" meaning "prepared").
- Application: The prefix "al-" is added to the root word "ready" to create a new word that means
"completely prepared" or "before a specific time".
_Apologize_
- Investigation: The word "apologize" comes from the Greek "apologia" (ἀπολογία), meaning "a speaking
in defense" and the Latin "apologizare", meaning "to justify or excuse".
- Application: The spelling of "apologize" reflects its Greek and Latin roots, indicating a connection to the
concept of offering a defense or justification.
_Authorize_
- Investigation: The word "authorize" comes from the Latin "auctor", meaning "author" or "creator",
which is derived from the Greek "auctor" (αὐκτήρ), meaning "one who causes to grow".
- Application: The prefix "auth-" in "authorize" reflects its Greek and Latin roots, indicating a connection
to the concept of authority and authorship.
