What words have the latin root Dem?

Answer 1

Ah, the Latin root "dem" is a wonderful one! It means "people" or "population." Words like "democracy" (rule by the people) and "demographic" (related to the characteristics of a population) all come from this root. Embrace the beauty of language and how it connects us all, like happy little trees in a vast forest.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, words with the Latin root "dem" include "democracy," "demographic," and "demonstrate." So, like, if you ever need to impress someone with your knowledge of Latin roots at a party, just casually drop those words into the conversation. You'll totally sound super smart without even trying.

Answer 3

The root "dem-", as in "democracy", is of Greek origin, from demos "the people". Latin derived words that appear to contain this root are from either:

• the prefix de- added to roots beginning with 'm': e.g., demonstrate, from de- and monstrare, "to show"
• the syllable dam with a vowel change caused by prehistoric stress on a prefix: e.g., indemnity, from in- + damnum, "damage"
