migra

This ROOT-WORD is MIGRA which comes from the Latin migrare & meaning TO LEAVE ONE PLACE AND WANDER TO ANOTHER. There is a spelling problem attached to this Root, as you will see if you compare No. 9 and No. 16. Why has No. 9 only one m while No. 16 has two m’s? The answer lies in the ROOTS. E (ex) meaning OUT has no m so we only need the m from MIGRA. The key IM meaning into has an m of its own which, added to MIGRA, makes two m’s.
