NCEE/SAT Words

This educational resource delves into Latin roots, focusing on words related to 'currere' (to run) and 'fugere' (to flee). Key examples include "current," referring to the present time or flows of water or air, and "currency," denoting a system of money. It also explores "curriculum," which means the subjects of study in a school. Additionally, we discuss "fugitive," representing someone who runs away, and "refuge," a state of safety. Other terms like "sedulous" and "extravagant" highlight the connection between Latin roots and modern vocabulary.
