Pick up this Latin Dictionary, to run through the senses of roots of English words.

It's a great aid to analysis.

(was only $150 in 1984)

While you're dropping big bucks for books, this grammar book is an excellent summer read, if you're open to wonderment about how many rules you follow without knowing about them.

That one's cheaper than it used to be.; 3/8/11, 1:14 PM

I am not sure what you mean by "senses". But Latin is great for verb tenses and discovering the roots for many of our words - sometimes directly from the Latin, and sometimes via the language that is spoken by those cheese loving surrender monkeys.

To this day, I do not know if I would have been better off and happier having taken maybe Spanish, than 4 years of high school Latin, followed by a couple years in college. Even in the practice of law, you really don't need to know much Latin these days.; 3/8/11, 2:16 PM
