What is the Latin root word for interaction and what does it mean?

The Latin root word for "interaction" is "agere", meaning "to do" or "to act".

While "agere" itself doesn't directly translate to "interaction," it forms the basis of many words related to action and activity, such as:

* "Interact" - derived from "inter" (between) + "agere"

* "Agent" - someone who acts or performs a task

* "Act" - a deed or action

* "Action" - the process of acting

* "Agile" - able to move quickly and easily

The concept of "interaction" implies a mutual action or activity between two or more entities. Therefore, the root "agere" signifies the fundamental element of "doing" or "acting" that underlies interaction.
