Understanding texts with difficult words can be made easier by a study of all EXCEPT _____.

Root words tell you the simplest word to find the meaning of, affixes are the additions to the root word that have a few typical meanings that allow you to adjust your definition. Etymology is about the origin of words, whether it is related to a place, or a person, or in a foreign language. However, entomology is the study of insects and does not help one understand word meanings.
