Answer:
In many ways.
Explanation:
The English language is literally derived from the Latin language. Therefore, knowing Latin prefixes, suffixes and roots can assist in understanding a certain word. For example, the word 'biology' sounds completely normal. We know it as a subject. But the prefix 'bio' in Latin, means 'life'. Whereas the rest of the word's 'ology' means 'the study of'. You can find many more of these prefixes, suffixes, and roots in the English language upon closer scrutiny.
