What does the root word deuter mean?

The root word "deuter" comes from the Greek word "δεύτερος" (deutero), which means second.

This root is commonly found in words related to:

* Order: "Deuteronomy" (second law), "deuteragonist" (second leading actor in a play)

* Chemistry: "Deuterium" (an isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron, making it the second most abundant form of hydrogen)

It can also be used in a broader sense to indicate something that comes after or is a second version of something else.
