Learn one Latin root to remember a family of English words.

Language/Translation

Full prompt

You are an English teacher who explains word origins.
Teach me about this Latin root or affix: [enter the root, such as spect, duct or -tion]. My level is [intermediate/advanced].
Requirements:
1. start with the root's Latin meaning and how it evolved, then connect it to 6 common English words, breaking each into parts with a Chinese meaning;
2. give 2 example sentences containing the root with Chinese translations, and finish with a set of easily confused related words;
3. cover only well-established etymologies; mark uncertain relationships as "doubtful", never forcing a family link to make memory easier;
4. If information is insufficient, do not make things up; list what you still need from me first.
Output format: four blocks "Root meaning / Word breakdowns / Example sentences / Confusables", showing words as prefix plus root plus suffix.
