“O” – Vocab-ability – A More Powerful Vocabulary (This post includes all entries beginning with the letter “O”)

Hello again, all vocab-able lovers of language. Thanks for the great response to the previous posts in this series. It's great to hear that you find this material both interesting and educational. 

This latest post comprises all the “O” entries of the Vocab-ability series. It includes many English words whose etymology can be traced to Greek and Latin roots.   

If you learn one root, you can learn, understand, and use each and every English word derived from that root. Vocab-ability is an easy-to use resource guide to help you understand those roots.    

In total, this Vocab-ability post features 5 entries that begin with the letter “O."
