The Latin roots are cum, together + jacere, to throw. Therefore the student trained in Latin could easily figure out that conjecture is something that is 'thrown together.'

In Latin many verbs are formed by taking a base verb like go and adding a preposition as a prefix to enhance the meaning. If you want to look it up in a Latin dictionary, see: exeo, exire, exii, exitum. Those are its principal parts.

He offered his condolences. My mind immediately thought about the roots of that word- com- with + dolÄ“re- to suffer pain (physical or mental.) It is my hope that all the students at Òùµ´ÉÙ¸¾ of Nacogdoches, TX will learn to see the rich meaning of the vocabulary of our language.
