What does the root word mot mean?

The root word "mot" comes from the Latin word "mōtus", meaning "motion" or "movement".

It is commonly found in words like:

* Motive: the reason for an action or behavior.

* Motor: a machine that provides power for movement.

* Motion: the act of moving.

* Promote: to encourage or support the growth or development of something.

* Remote: situated far away.

However, it's important to note that "mot" is not a stand-alone root word in English. It usually appears as part of a larger root, like "mot-," "-mot," or "mo-", which contributes to the meaning of the word.
