Love for a root word

We have a very bad reputation of demeaning our vocabulary levels. We demand the writer to writer according to our vocabulary levels. Any two or three words that trouble us, make a judgement that this writer is not of my level. its a waste to break my head over the high standard of words there. 

Its good not to trouble over such instances. But learning a language needs some headache, some tongue twisting and then comes the sweet reaping crop of fluency of the foreign tongue. Some very rare souls are there who die for the words of high caliber. They love to break their heads to learn them, use them and feel superior to others.  Some root words are there to form words for those lovers of languages.

Root words are the basic word form that helps to form a word that suits the occasion. Phile s one such root word. It is derived from Greek and means to love. Thinking about the good and bad of humanity with love and affection makes one a philosopher.. That type of writings including those thoughts is named as philosophy. 

Some common words derived from phil are philanthropist, and bibliophile. 

A person who donates generously for the causes that promote welfare of poor and the needy is known as a philanthropist.

A person who has a great love of books is a bibliophile (phile here rhymes with FILE}

A lover of words is a Log-o-phile.

So, better to find where your and my "phile" is..
