Analyze the word origins

Using the Etymology and Word Roots knowledge points

We need to identify three words from the list that share the same Latin or Greek root:

• demand: From Latin demandare (to entrust, hand over, commission), which is composed of the prefix de- (down, completely) + mandare (to commit, entrust, order).
• manger: From Old French mangier, from Latin manducare (to chew, eat).
• human: From Latin humanus, related to homo (man).
• command: From Latin commandare (to entrust, commit), from com- (intensive prefix) + mandare (to commit, entrust, order).
• mandate: From Latin mandatum (a commission, order), from mandare (to commit, entrust, order).

The words demand, command, and mandate all share the Latin root mand (from mandare, meaning "to order" or "to entrust").
