Revolution: Part of speech- Noun
What is the root work of revolution? Revolution and revolt
have a shared origin, both ultimately going back to the Latin revolvere “to revolve, roll back.” When revolution first appeared in English in the 14th century, it referred to the movement of a celestial body in orbit; that sense was extended to “a progressive motion of a body around an axis,” “completion of a course,” and other senses suggesting regularity of motion or a predictable return to an original position. At virtually the same time, the word developed a sharply different meaning, namely, ”a sudden radical, or complete change,” apparently from the idea of reversal of direction implicit in the Latin verb. Revolt , which initially meant “to renounce allegiance,” grew from the same idea of “rolling back,” in this case from a prior bond of loyalty.
Meaning: Change to the system, a sudden change to the government, movement that caused the fundamental change in government.
Example: The Communism Revolution in Afghanistan which happened in April of 1978 was the beginning of 5 decades conflict and the revolution also called the bloody Sawr (April) revolution.

Hello Class,
I decided to turn this assignment into a discussion because I want everyone to read new vocabulary words, to see how to use vocabulary words in sentences that are about YOU. Please choose at least 4 vocabulary words from this list, and then I want you to do the following:
Define the word--what does it mean in the dictionary?
What is the root word and part of speech?
Write a personal sentence about you using the vocabulary word. You can use the word as a noun, verb, or adjective depending on what word you choose.
How is your vocabulary word functioning in the sentence? As a verb, noun, or adjective?
Professor's Example:
Word: Threatens
Dictionary Meaning: to cause one to feel insecure or anxious; dangerous warning.
Root Word: Threat
Part of Speech: verb
My personal sentence: I have observed that some people see other people from different cultural and religious backgrounds as a threat because they feel that their religion and cultures are superior or better--this is how oppression, hate, and discrimination starts.
In my sentence, I used threat as a noun.
