We also discussed words in English that end in ous/ious. That ending means "full of" - so we had fun trying to think of words that end in those letters and what they mean: anxious - full of anxiety; dangerous - full of danger; ubiquitous - full of "everywhere;" contagious - full of contagions. We also talked about how sometimes the meaning isn't obvious and you have to go back to the Latin root like with copious - full of supply. Once you start thinking about them, it's hard to stop!
