Vocabulary session - 5

Today we shall take up the root EGO. Ego is well know english word but very few of you would be knowing that EGO is one of the latin roots. EGO is one of the most selfish roots one can ever come across.

EGO means I.

Words that originated from root EGO:
  • Egoistic
  • Egotist
  • Egocentric
  • Egomaniac
  • Alter Ego


Here also I don't think contextual usage is need to judge the meaning. 

Meanings:
  • Egoistic: Someone who is full of ego.
  • Egotist: Someone who talks about his own achievements to obnoxious degree.
  • Egocentric: Someone who thinks about everything putting himself at center. Someone who is selfish.
  • Egomaniac: Someone who is impulsive for his ego. A kind of madness. These kind of people can be dangerous.
