Words
And Their Stories™ Word
of the Month

IMPROVISE
Derivation: Improvise comes from the Latin prefix im ("not") and the root providere, meaning "foresee, provide, or prepare." To provide for the future is to prepare for it ahead of time. Similarly, to take provisions on a trip means to take things you may need, such as food and water. Do you see the root providere in both "provide" and "provisions"? In the word improvise, we must pay close attention to how the prefix im affects this root.
Definition: Improvise means "to perform or create something without prior preparation."
