This is really helpful for someone trying to increase his word range.
Thank you for sharing this.

You can also check out the entire first chapter, of Vocab Stems (as opposed to the current prefixes). Here's one in that chapter, with links at the bottom to all the previous posts.

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, but I've been busy and my voting power has been down.
Hope you find all these posts interesting, informative, and educational.
Thank you for sharing this. This can truly be helpful especially for those whom English is not our second language
The prefix dys is a new one to me. Learning everyday. :)
Glad it helps, and glad you like it. There are many more posts coming.
In fact, I originally produced this most of this material when I was an ESL teacher. Now, I'm updating and reformatting it for Steemit.
After I post all these alphabetical "groups," I will do one box daily, to make it easy for Steemians to review / learn each separate entry.
I hope you stick around for that.
Will do definitely. I can't wait on the next set. :)
Decadent has been one of my favourite words in high school, because it was part of a literary movement, the decadentism!
What about debase?
Ya, for me to, I always like the words 'decadent' and 'decadence.' And I kinda like the lifestyle, too. :-)
