A couple of links that could come handy Apr 22, 2008 Here's a small list of roots, suffixes and prefixes: http://www.msu.edu/~defores1/gre/roots/gre_rts_afx2.htm Just watch out, there are Greek ones among them. And you may also want to look through this site: http://www.alphadictionary.com/directory/Specialty_Dictionaries/Etymology/ Hope this helps   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Stephen C. Farrand   United States Local time: 07:15 Member (2007) Latin to English + ...	English Word Origins from Latin Apr 29, 2008 You might order a used copy of _Our Greek and Latin Roots_ by James Morwood and Mark Warman (Cambridge, 1990) from one of the online booksellers. But for a date for the first use of a word containing the Latin word element, you'll have to look at an edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. I hope this is what you meant by "when the word or root is coined." Hope this is some help.
