Question

What are the two greek words from which the english word geography comes? find three english derivatives from each greek word?

Answer 1

The two Greek words from which the word geography derives are ge (Earth) and graphia (description), so geographia means ''description of the Earth''.

Derivatives in the English language from this two words would be:

- Geology; Geopolitics; Geocentric;

- Biography; Filmography; Cartography;

In the English language, the Greek ge is turned into geo, and graphia is turned into graphy.
