Word roots of which language?
If it's say English etymology, there are two sites I use now and then: http://dictionary.reference.com/etymology/ http://www.etymonline.com/ This title by Carl Darling Buck was recommended by Professor Arguelles back in 2007: http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Selected-Principal-Indo-Eur opean-Languages/dp/0226079376 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry for not being more clear. I meant Russian word roots. Like дурак and дурной have
the same root дур. And the root боль means big I think. I've very recently began studying Russian and I've been told that Russian words are often made up of roots, suffixes and prefixes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here are a some books listed on amazon.com, and I've seen the first two listed on ebay
at times. _Roots of the Russian Language_, by George Z. Patrick _Russian Root List: With a Sketch of Word Formation_, by Charles E Gribble _Leveraging Your Russian with Roots, Prefixes, and Suffixes, by Browning, Hart, and Solovyova I've never looked at any of these and so have no idea if they are worthwhile. . . . Oh, sorry. I missed "Free" in the title. I've found a couple of online sites in Russian (like this http://www.slovorod.ru/slavic-roots/index.html ), but so far nothing in English. There's a site (www.muebooks.com) where the Patrick book is offered for free if you register with them, but I question its probity/legality. Good luck! The Patrick book is often offered for sale, used, quite cheaply. Edited by Slogger on 10 January 2014 at 5:22am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

боль означает pain. большой (=big as an adjective) - происходит от другого корня: Согласно Викисловарю: Происходит от праслав. , от кот. в числе прочего произошли: ст.- слав. бол͂ии м., бол͂ьши ж., болѥ, русск. больший, большой, укр. більший, болг. бо́ле «больше», сербохорв. бо̏љи «лучший», словенск. bȯ̑lje «лучше», чешск. только Boleslav, польск.

I take it ст.-слав. refers to Old Slavonic. Is праслав. Proto-Slavonic?

I own "Roots of the Russian language" by George Z. Patrick, but I don't like it. It takes a certain root and gives a number of words with examples - so far so good - but the total absence of any kind of grammatical information makes it practically worthless. For instance you aren't told whether verbs are perfective or inperfective, or whether substantives on -ь are masculine or feminine (though that sometimes can be gleaned fromt the examples). Mr. Patrick could have written a book that filled an glaring hole in the pedagogical literature, but he didn't do it.

I've also heard that it is outdated. Is that true? And in that case, how outdated? How much does it matter? Edited by oskarkv on 13 January 2014 at 6:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
