You're welcome! Let's break down the word "interruption" together.
interruption:
in- prefix (indicates negation or lack of)
terr- root (related to "terrere" which means "to frighten" in Latin)
-upt- connecting vowel
-ion suffix (forms a noun indicating an action or process)
To understand the meaning of "interruption," we can combine these parts. The prefix "in-" suggests the lack of something, in this case, the absence of a continuous flow or progress. The root "terr" refers to something frightening or disturbing. The suffix "-ion" changes the root into a noun, so "interruption" can be understood as the act or process of causing a break or disruption in something.
If you have any further questions or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!
"inter" = prefix [a preposition in Latin, meaning "between"]
rupt = root [comes from the Latin word rumpo ... ruptus meaning "to break"]
ion = suffix
And yes, "plac" is the root [from the Latin verb placeo meaning " to please"]
thank you once again
You're welcome.
If you take Latin, or at least study Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and suffixes, you'll greatly expand your vocabulary.
