What are some words that contain the root apert?

The root "apert" comes from Latin and means "open" or "uncovered." While it's not a common root found in many words directly, here are some examples of how it appears in words:

Directly:

* Apert: (archaic) meaning "open," "uncovered," or "exposed." This word is rarely used in modern English.

Indirectly:

* Aperture: A natural or artificial opening.

* Aperitive: A drink that stimulates the appetite.

* Apertometer: A device for measuring the aperture of a lens.

It's important to note that the root "apert" is often combined with other prefixes and suffixes to form new words, such as "de" in "de-aperture" or "re" in "re-aperture."

While "apert" itself isn't used frequently, it contributes to the formation of words that relate to opening, exposure, and uncovering.
