Improve your Vocabulary: 6 English words ending in -RUPT

The word ending -rupt comes from the Latin word “rumpere”, which means to break. In this lesson, you can improve your vocabulary by learning six words ending in -rupt: abrupt, bankrupt, corrupt, disrupt, erupt, and interrupt. Some of these are verbs, and some are adjectives. You will see how each of these words has to do with something being broken. For each word, I’ll give you example phrases and sentences that will be useful both in everyday speaking and in essay writing on various topics. I will also show you how to use these words with different endings. After watching, check your understanding of your new vocabulary by doing the quiz.

tonight i was erupted so i got 10/10, i have study English constantly and although busy of my business but i don’t disrupt my learing English. however sometime i still spoke in a rather abrupt way because i don’t have enough vocabulary. i always avoid interrupt when they are speaking. I’m not a political so i don’t understand about corrupting. Thank Gill

Hi Nguyen,

I have read your nice comment you made certainly with a lot of effort.

If you dont get offended, I will have some questions to you :

You have written, you were ERUPTED. What do you mean with this ? Because the verb ERUPT has this meanings : 1. if fighting, violence, noise etc erupts, it starts suddenly , 2.if a volcano erupts, it explodes and sends smoke, fire, and rock into the sky. None of them is OK in your sentence.

DISRUPT can be used only if the interruption is connected with a problem. I think you used the word incorrectly. It should be INTERRUPT.

Nice day,
Adriana

Hi Gill! Very interesting lesson!
I suppose this is a good method to learn a new vocabulary especially for Italians like me.
Can you make a new lesson with other Latin word?
P.s. Rompere is written with o not u ?
