vent,veni & ven



These
ROOT-WORDS are VEN, VENI & VENT which come from the Latin- venire & ventus which mean to COME. The famous message which Julius Caesar sent to the Senate in Rome announcing his victory in Asia over 2,000 years ago is a marvel of brevity and action; “I came, I saw, I conquered" - “Veni, vidi, vici." Of the many ROOTS which you have accumulated so far, sixteen are reviewed with the new ROOT- VEN, VENI & VENT. Every ROOT is important and will appear somewhere in a new word.
