Meaning: Self, by oneself. Example Words: autograph, autonomous, automobile. Context/Tip: Think of "auto" as something that happens on its own or without help. Auto means "self"—so when you hear automobile, think of a car that moves by itself. You can also remember it because autograph is your own signature, something you do by yourself!

Meaning: Life. Example Words: biology, biography, biohazard. Context/Tip: "Bio" is found in words related to life. You might know that biology is the study of living things, and biography is a story about someone's life. Visualizing a living organism or a person's story can help remember this root.

Meaning: Earth, ground. Example Words: geography, geology, geothermal. Context/Tip: "Geo" is easy to remember because we all live on Earth. If you’re learning about countries or continents, you’re studying geography. Geology is the study of the Earth’s materials. The root geo is also in geothermal, which relates to heat from the Earth’s core.

Meaning: Small. Example Words: microscope, microbe, microsecond. Context/Tip: “Micro” refers to something very small. A microscope helps us see tiny things, and microbe refers to a very small organism. Think of “micro” as meaning something so small it’s hard to see with the naked eye.

Meaning: Love. Example Words: philosophy, philanthropist, bibliophile. Context/Tip: This root is found in words related to love, wisdom or knowledge. A philosopher studies wisdom and knowledge.

The idea of moving something instantly across space.

The study of the mind and its processes.

The study of life and living organisms.

Meaning: Hundred. Example Words: century, percent, centimeter. Context/Tip: If you think of "cent," you can associate it with the idea of 100. A century is 100 years, and percent is out of 100. It's easy to remember because "cent" sounds like "century," and both involve 100.

Meaning: Throw. Example Words: eject, project, inject. Context/Tip: "Ject" involves throwing or pushing something. To eject is to throw something out, and to inject is to push something in (like a needle). When you think of project, picture a projection, something that’s “thrown” out for others to see.

Meaning: Hand. Example Words: manual, manipulate, manuscript. Context/Tip: Think of "man" whenever something is done with your hands. A manual is a guidebook you use by hand, and to manipulate is to handle something skillfully. Manuscript is a hand-written document.
