While I have tried to be fairly comprehensive, this is not meant to be an unabridged dictionary or to include all rare words. I have used a variety of dictionaries in compiling the IHL. I hope you have found this site to be useful. Word Roots and Prefixes.

Note that some modern words are formed by using abbreviated forms of other words.
