do not always have the same meaning as the sum of the meanings of
their parts. In fact, on occasion words can have the opposite
meaning of their parts. For example, by word analysis the word
AWFUL should mean “full of awe,” or awe-inspiring. But over the
years it has come to mean just the opposite—terrible. In spite of the
shortcomings, word analysis gives the correct meaning of a word (or
at least a hint of it) far more often than not and therefore is a useful
tool.
Examples:
INDEFATIGABLE
Analysis: IN (not); DE (thoroughly); FATIG (fatigue); ABLE (can do)
Meaning: cannot be fatigued, tireless
CIRCUMSPECT
Analysis: CIRCUM (around); SPECT (to look)
Meaning: to look around, that is, to be cautious
ANTIPATHY
Analysis: ANTI (against); PATH (to feel); Y (noun suffix)
Meaning: to feel strongly against something, to hate
OMNISCIENT
Analysis: OMNI (all); SCI (to know); ENT (noun suffix)
Meaning: all-knowing
