vict & vinc



These
ROOT-WORDS are VINC & VICT which come from the Latin vincere & victus which mean CONQUER. Please note that in Nos. 13-17 the letter c sounds like an s. In Nos. 18 and 19 a different spelling and pronunciation comes in because this ROOT is from the French vaincre, a descendant of the Latin, which leads to VANQUish.
