English words - Latin roots?

Question

I need help~! I haven't found a dictionary that has latin roots that match the ones I have right now.

I have to match these words to the right latin roots provided here they are:

Words:
1) enactment, act, activists
2) proclaimed, reclaim
3) illegal, legitimacy
4)alleged, allegation
5) dictated, indicted, prejudiced, judicial
6) perjury

Roots:
1) jurare
2) agere
2)legare
4) clamare
5) lex
5) dicere

I do not expect answers. XD But I really would appreciate help for finding a dictionary, or at least help me please? Thank you so much~

Answer 1

Sweetie, the six English words have their roots in the six Latin words. alleged - legare. See it? l-e-g. It's right there in front of you. It's not rocket science. At most, you might have to guess one or two.

Answer 3

jurare => perjury
dicere => dictated etc
clamare => proclaim etc

Look at a good dictionary - for example Meriam Webster:

re·claim
Etymology: Middle English reclamen, from Anglo-French reclamer, from Latin reclamare to cry out, protest, from re- + clamare to cry out

le·gal
Etymology: Anglo-French, from Latin legalis, from leg-, lex law
