Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root “port”, which comes from the Latin word, meaning “ to carry” or “ to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning--- Which we call the prefix （前綴）, the meaning changes: “import” means “to carry in ” or “to bring into a country”, “export”, “ex” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of a country”, “re” means “back”, so the word “report” means “to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”, “transport”, “trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another.”

Let’s look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix （后綴）“er” to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.

A. different beginnings and different endings

A. the meaning of a Latin word

B. a different meaning

C. the meanings of “in” or “out of”

D. a lot of meanings
