Re: Help Asap!
Well, the root of the word is at the beginning of the sentence.
for instance, the root of the word 'archetype' is 'arch', which means 'ancient'. I'm not sure where you'll find the root... the dictionary or thesaurus? Try google?
The origin would be whether it is of greek or latin origin, etc.
A synonym is a word that has the same definition of another word. For example: cry and weep are synonyms
An Antonym is a word that has the opposite definition of another word. As in: Angry/happy.
You can get synonyms and antonyms on Microsoft Word by typing the word, highlighting it and then pressing ctrl + F7.

Usually origins are in dictionaries.

Is just the same as what keeps you alive..."
