English word candid comes
from the Latin verb candere, which
means “to shine.” Truth is like a
light, sometimes exposing what
someone might wish to hide. A
candid person shines the light of
truth on something others might
wish to conceal.

• The
Latin verb punire means
“to punish” and forms the root
of several other English words
besides punish and impunity. If a
jury awards punitive damages to
someone who has been injured,
the intention is to punish those
who caused the injury. If you pay
a penalty, you are being punished
for doing what you shouldn’t have
A reproducible cloze exercise in
the Teacher’s Resource Book
can be used as an alternative
comprehension activity for the
passage—as well as for review
or assessment.
done or for failing to do what you
should have done. A state’s penal
system is designed to punish criminals by putting them in jail.
•Obnoxious
is formed from the
Latin noxa, meaning “an injury”;
so is noxious, meaning “harmful” or
“unhealthy” (noxious gas from car
exhaust). The smell from a skunk
is obnoxious but not noxious. Carbon monoxide gas is noxious but
not obnoxious (because it cannot be smelled). Cigarette smoke
is noxious; it is also obnoxious to
non-smokers who are sometimes
forced to inhale it when someone
near them is smoking.
Each lesson concludes
with fascinating facts
about select lesson
vocabulary, fostering
student interest in word
origins and word families.
