what is the difference between root word and base word?
142881
I don't believe there is any difference between root word and base word.  The root word is also the word the prefixes and suffixes are added to.  For example, consider the word " unhappily".  The root word is "happy".  The base word is also "happy".  The term root word was the term traditionally used.  The term base word is just a newer way to say the same thing.\n\nI hope this helps.

Etymology is the study of the origins of words. i dont know what that has2 do with market research

I think you mean "origin" rather than derivative.\n\nA derivative of the word "dickens" would be a word that uses dickens as it's base, not the other way round

The word doesn't have a prefix. It has a sufix - 'oid' attached to the root word 'human'. The suffix 'oid' means 'related to' or possessing the characteristics of'.

The difference is the spelling and wording :)

The word didnt change spelling, its dilemma, it comes from Greek roots, just like many other, its just that it has two m's instead of some other Greek-rooted words, such as drama, problem etc... its been dilemma, not dilema or dilemna.

Confusion between base and alkali\nThe terms "base" and "alkali" are often used interchangeably, since most common bases are alkalis. It is common to speak of "measuring the alkalinity of soil" when what is actually meant is the measurement of the pH (base property). Similarly, bases which are not alkalis, such as ammonia, are sometimes erroneously referred to as alkaline.\n\nNote that not all or even most salts formed by alkali metals are alkaline; this designation applies only to those salts which are basic.\n\nWhile most electropositive metal oxides are basic, only the soluble alkali metal and alkali earth metal oxides can be correctly called alkalis.\n\nThis definition of an alkali as a basic salt of an alkali metal or alkali earth metal does appear to be the most common, based on dictionary definitions

English is what's called a "borrowed language".  That's why you see so many similarities between it and other languages.  From my understanding, our alphabet is based on the Roman alphabet, and our number system is based on the Arabic system.

It depends on the idiom. There are lots of different origins. Just pick an idiom at look up its origin at:\n\nhttp://www.idiomsite.com/

they're all correct, just different forms of english, the canadian way of spelling words is slightly different then the american way example color and colour, and the other examples you mentioned among a lot of others

We presume the words in the dictionary are spelled correctly. Keep in mind there is sometimes more than one correct spelling of the same word. Ex.: Color and Colour

There are two ways to define bases.\n\n1\nThey are inorganic compounds which give negatively charged OH- anions (hydroxyl anions) which can react with cations in a solution. If nothing to react with, they just rise the concentration of hydroxyl anions [OH-] in the water solution. This leads to the rise of pH: if there is 10 times more hydroxyl anions than protons (causing acidity), pH = 8; if 100 times, pH is 9 e.t.c. An example: NaOH.\n\n2\nOrganic compounds can also act like bases: they can take protons (H+) from other compounds. We can say that they decrease the amount of acidic groups in other compounds in this way. Examples of this group of compounds are nitrogen-containing alkaloids (nicotine e.t.c.) which can react like bases with organic acids, forming salts. No effect on pH in the environment, just a reaction between organic base and organic acid.

Associate each word with a "root word" on the meaning of the word. Then go through the whole list and see if you can associate each term with the "root word" you chose. Then associate the "root word" with the rest of the meaning.\n\nFor example:\nIrony - The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. \n\nI will choose the word "opposite" from the meaning, since it is the word that mostly characterize the word "irony"\n\nHence, I will study: "Irony - Opposite"\n\nThen, once I am good at associating each of the words I need to study, I add the rest of the meaning. Mostly, if you remember the associated word, it will give you hints on the rest of the meaning.
