Question

the word support contains the root port. what does the root port mean? look at or observe carry help change

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The root "port" in the word "support" comes from Latin. In Latin, "portare" means "to carry". In the word "support", "sup - " is a prefix meaning "under" (in this context, it can be thought of as providing a base or underlying action). So when combined, "support" can be related to the idea of "carrying" something (in a more abstract sense of providing a base or means to hold something up, which is related to the root meaning of "carry").

Answer:

carry
