Does anyone know where the root words vib, rad, and lum originate from? Like what language, and what it means in that language?
like the root words that are in these words: vib - vibrant rad - radiant lum - illuminate |

The latter two are Latin. I believe the first is also Latin, but I have no confirmation on that one.
 http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=vibrant http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=radiant [Middle English, from Latin radins, radiant- present participle of radire, to radiate. See radiate.] http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=illuminate [Middle English illuminaten, from Latin illminre, illmint- : in-, in; see in-2 + lminre, to light up (from lmen, lmin-, light. See leuk- in Indo-European Roots).] |
