Words from Mr. Cuddles Wednesdays
Chronic
Hi everyone, it’s me, Mr. Cuddles. Today is Words from Mr. Cuddles Wednesday.
Today, I am presenting the vocabulary word “chronic”. I present the word in context so that the clues help the viewer to understand the meaning.
Do you know what “chronic” means?
The sentences I used to present the word “chronic” were, “I have a cough I just can’t seem to get rid of. Excuse me… (Cat coughs.) I better go to the vet before it becomes chronic. The last thing I need is a cough that lasts for a really long time.”
Can you figure out the meaning of the word “chronic” from my video. Did you know that the word “chronic” has a root word?
The root word is the Greek root “chron”. The Greek root “chron” means time. Chronic means persisting for a long time or constantly recurring.
It can refer to an long-lasting or recurring illness or problem.
I like to remind people of the importance of reviewing Latin and Greek roots in order to develop their vocabulary skills.
A number of the vocabulary words I present in my educational videos are words that consist of Latin or Greek roots.
Reviewing prefixes, root words, and suffixes has a positive impact on the development of your vocabulary.
