Lesson 1: Multisyllabic Roots and Affixes Multisyllabic words are words that have two or more syllables. Generally, words become multisyllabic because of different word elements such as affixes, blending, and compounding. However, not all multisyllabic words are derived. Some words are multisyllabic, but are only root words. Previously, you learned that many Latin and Greek affixes affect the meaning of a root word once they are attached to it. The same process happens to multisyllabic root words. Example: 1. The teachers literally (literal and -ly literally) went through the list one by one twice. The multisyllable word literal means the usual meaning of the word. The suffix -ly means how something is. Literally means it is done as it is. 1. The deconstruction (de- and construct) of the poem was nicely done. The multisyllabic word construct means to make or form. The prefix de- means the reverse of something. The word deconstruct means to separate the elements to examine the parts.
