GROUPS OF RELATED WORDS1

[The words in heavy type are the primitives from which the indented words in smaller type are derived. The relative degree of indentation of the derivatives shows their relation to each other and to their respective primitives: e.g. arceo has the derivative exerceo, from which in turn are derived exercitus and exercito, and, finally, three removes from the primitive arceo, are the derivatives from exercito, namely exercitatus and exercitatio.]
