Question

You want to determine the definition of the word configuration which is a noun meaning the arrangements of the parts of a whole in an organized array.

Which of the following is not likely to be a clue to the meaning of the word from Latin origins?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. "gustare" is the Latin word for "to taste"

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if "gustare" is a Latin root, this is not part of the word "configuration" that is composed by the prefix "con", the root word "figurare" and the suffix "tion". In this context, this Latin root is not helpful to understand the word configuration because it is not related to this word and its meaning is different. However, this can be used to analyze the meaning of words such as "gustatory" or "gustation". According to this, the correct answer is B.
