I use my old copy a lot. There's also this much smaller one which is excellent for the size and does include some words the other one doesn't. https://www.uvm.edu/rsenr/wfb232/Dictionary of Word Roots & Combining Forms.pdf 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it in my college bookstore in the 80's and had to have it then. You can still find it cheap in used bookstores if you want a pocket copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
