ETYMOLOGY of the word READ Etymo = true meaning logos = word The root “read” doesn’t actually
appear in that many English words, but the history (or etymology) of the word is interesting to consider.
![Page 19: Roots of Language: Foundations of English English 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050909/5697bfd01a28abf838caaa91/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ETYMOLOGY of the word READ In many languages, the word for reading comes
from the Latin word legere, which originally had to do with “gathering up” or “collecting” meaning. Consider these words in other languages:
Leer = “to read” in Spanish Lire = “to read” in French Leggere = “to read” in Italian Lesen = “to read” in German
![Page 20: Roots of Language: Foundations of English English 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050909/5697bfd01a28abf838caaa91/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ETYMOLOGY of the word READ In English, we use words like “legible” and
“lexicon,” but when it comes to the act of READING, our word is rooted in the idea of counsel – almost a conversation between the author and the reader.
In addition to “gathering up” details to make sense of letters and words, your job in this class is to INTERPRET meaning.
