Answer 1

Were you born lazy, or have you really had to work at it? Get a dictionary and start looking.

Answer 2

All of modern day English is not from either Latin or Greek. English is a Germanic language which came from an area south of modern day Denmark. Originally it was called Anglo Saxon, or Old English. Later on people added Latin and Greek words for terms that weren't available in the original language - mostly for science, medicine, and law. Many words were also added from Latin via French after the Norman conquest in 1066. The majority of words used by people when speaking every-day English is still germanic. The structure of the language is still germanic too.

Answer 3

Not every word in English originates from Latin, but here is a quick Etymology of the words you have listed.

Assault – Vulgar Latin adsaltus

Flourish – Classical Latin florere

Victim – Classical Latin victima

Marriage – Classical Latin maritatus, Vulgar Latin maritaticum

Work – Old English wyrcan, Proto-Germanic wurkijanan

Sing – Old English singan, Greek omphe, Classic Latin canere

Inform – Classic Lation informare

Message – Medieval Latin missaticum, Classic Latin missus

Good – Old English god, Proto-Germanic gothaz

Major – Classic Latin major

Conceive – Classic Latin concipere

Scientist – Classic Latin scientia

Answer 4

Check a good dictionary. And I feel quite certain that many of these words did not come from Latin.

Answer 5

I have some confusion over this list, because some of these words come from Germanic (non-latin roots). Some of them are Old English-based and not at all latin-derived. I put them into two sections: Germanic and Latin

GERMANIC:
fall - OE feallan
bad - ME: badde
work - OE worc, German: Werk
sing - OE: singan
good - OE: god, German: gut

ROMANCE:
assault - ab (against) + saltus (leap, jump)
flourish - flos (flower) / florere (to bloom)
victim - victus (having been conquered)
marriage - Latin from old french marier (to marry)
inform - informare (to form)
message - missaticum (having been sent)
departure - de (down from) + porto (carry)
major - maior (better)
concieve - concipere (take fully, take in)
scientist - scio (to know) / scientas (knowledge)
audience + audio (hear)
intelligence - intellego (understand)
predictions - pro (before) + dico (say)

You can find these in any good dictionary. Generally along with the dictionary entry for a word you can see the word it came from. If you don't have a dictionary at home, try a reputable dictionary website like m-w.com.
