amphi
The prefix amphi- comes from a Greek origin. It can mean:1. both."amphibian"of both kinds. "amphipod"on both sides. "amphiprostyle"2. around."amphitheater"
Amphi Festival was created in 2005.
Amphi means two or both. The same with ambi. Amphibian - gills then lungs. They get both. Ambidextrous - use both hands.
It comes from the word "Amphibious," as Amphi means "two," which of course is very relevant to Amphibians because they have two lives - in the water and on land.
Amphibian, amphitheater
In the great Greek amphi theaters
Am- is not a prefix in its own right.It may form a part of another prefix (such as amphi- in 'amphitheatre' or ambi- in 'ambivalent', both meaning 'both').It may include the prefix plus the beginning of the root, as in 'amorphous' (a- meaning 'without' and morphe meaning 'form').In words like 'amatory' and 'ambulance', there is no prefix; the root just happens to start with am (respectively, amator meaning 'lover' and ambulans meaning 'walking').
amphibian: amphi-: around (as in amphitheatre) -bi-: short of bios -> life -an: suffix denoting belonging to, agent Literally amphibian would mean 'that which lives around (both land and water)'.
what are the features,advantages and disadvantages of the Amphi theatre? That's not an answer.
The Greek root word for around is περι- (peri-) like peripheral, perimetry. The root word for both is αμφο- and αμφι- (αμφότεροι). Also δι- (di- or dy-) and διπλο- is used and I think there is correlation between the English bi- (from Latin bis, bi-) and di- but i couldn't confirmed it.
it is not a greek root or any root
