what's the root of the word interrupted?

Question

yeah, i feel stupid for not knowing it but whatever.

Answer 1

Interrupt came from the Latin word Interruptus
Inter, the prefix, means "between"
Rupture is the root word and it means "to break"
Ed is the suffix and it causes the word to be past tense.

So really Interrupt means "between break" or to break a conversation between two people.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The root of a word is a unit of meaning (morpheme) and, as such, it is an abstraction, though it can usually be represented in writing as a word would be. For example, it can be said that the root of the English verb form runnin is run, or the root of the Spanish superlative adjective amplísimo is ampli-, since those words are clearly derived from the root forms by simple suffixes that do not alter the roots in any way. In particular, English has very little inflection, and hence a tendency to have words that are identical to their roots. But more complicated inflection, as well as other processes, can obscure the root; for example, the root of mice is mouse (still a valid word), and the root of interrupt is, arguably, rupt, which is not a word in English and only appears in derivational forms (such as disrupt, corrupt, rupture, etc.). The root rupt is written as if it were a word, but it's not.

Answer 3

Do you mean the base word minus any prefixes or suffixes? If so, it's "interrupt."
If you mean it's root as in etymology, it comes from the latin word "interrumpere, interruptus" which means "to break apart."
