What does the latin root umor mean?

The Latin root "umor" means moisture or fluid.

It's related to the English word "humor," which originally referred to bodily fluids believed to influence a person's temperament.

Here are some examples of words derived from "umor":

* Humid: Containing moisture

* Humorous: Funny, lighthearted (referring to the original sense of "humor" related to bodily fluids)

* Humor: The ability to be funny or see the funny side of things

* Humidifier: A device that adds moisture to the air

While "umor" has a more literal meaning of "moisture," it's important to remember the connection to the broader concept of "humor" and its historical link to bodily fluids.
