  3. LOCOmeans place. Locomotivesmove (mot) from place to place; a location is a place, and to dislocate something is to put it out of place!

  4. SURmeans over. The surface of the sea is over the rest; a surrealist is an artist who depicts things beyond ordinary reality; a surfeit is an excess!

  5. ALTERmeans other. An alteration is to make something other than what it was; an alternative is another option, and altruism is thinking of others.

  6. CONTRAmeans against. To contradict someone is to speak against what they have said; a contrast is a difference between two things, and to be contrary is to go against what is desired of you by others.

  7. STELLmeans star. The stellar surface is the surface of the star; a constellation is a group of stars, and interstellar space is the deep space between the stars.

  9. Advanced Word: Altruism The word altruism (AL-troo-izm) contains the Latin stems alter (other) and ism (doctrine). Altruism is the opposite of selfishness and egocentrism; it is the ability to do things that are selfless, out of a genuine concern for others or for the common good. In James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, we read that “you have yet to learn the dignity of altruism and the responsibility of the human individual.”
