Tract & trah are the root-words for many other words.
These ROOT-WORDS are TRACT & TRAH meaning DRAW & PULL. It comes from the Latin trahere, to draw, pull. TRAH is rarely used. TRACT lends itself readily to combination with other ROOTS, as you see from the list. ABLE, ILE, ITY, TION, AT, IVE, OR, ABS, CON, DE, DIS, EX, RE, SUB & PRO are all old friends, more of less, a fine reunion. Just think of the performance when all these get into the act. What a company! And what a performance you’ll be able to give when you recognize them one an all!
