Anybody know latin roots and stuff? You can pull words apart that way. So, when I see En I think of the corrupted EnRon, and when I see viro I think I haven't had a flu shot yet, I see ment, well, haven't brushed my teeth and could use some mint. I like the environment clean could do without the Ron part.

Peace

Mister Flew.
 
Environ + Ment
Ment has a Latin root - mentum - it changes a verb to noun
Environ has a Middle English root - online dictionaries are your friend.
