Apo- is not very common, but you can spot it in “apocalypse”, meaning to uncover, to reveal (away + cover), for example.
-logos (words) you have seen many times in all the -logy words, used to mean “study of…”
Sorry, my initial message sounded way too harsh but I think etymology is a super easy subject to teach kids and really helps when encountering new words and I think it’s a crying shame it’s not more popular, especially in English where you have so many foreign words!
TIL most people don’t know that “apologists” means apologetics which does NOT mean “apologize.” It means to defend something.
Apo + logos = words in defense of something. Easy peasy. But of course that requires some sort of education…
Not fluent in latin so thank you for clarifying :D learnt someting new
