Enig-ma

The word enigma had its first known use in the mid 16th century, used as a noun to refer to a person, thing or situation considered obscure or concealed/unknown.


  • Root:

As is the case with more than 50% of English words, which have either Latin or Greek roots references, enigma has two root references. The word<em> aenigma</em> from the Latin language, means riddle and from the Greek word <em>ainigma</em> obtained from the word <em>ainissesthai</em> which means to speak in riddles derived from ainos  - fable.

Prefix:


In this case there is no identifiable prefix.

Suffix:

A letter or group of words that when placed after the main word changes it meaning or gramatical function.

-ma is related to -ment (Middle English) concrete result of something... from the same  Greek noun suffix - mat / -ma

This line clearly shows how different these two men are - pines and apples are obviously quite different. On one hand, there is this neighbor who wants to build a wall between him and the world, and on the other, there is our narrator who wants to tear the wall down.
