I actually used a computer program to generate these, so it's unlikely that there are any oversights. Deband isn't in my dictionary. Are you thinking of disband?
Flashed to SpongeBob to think of something having to do with Plankton and I never seen one episode of plankton in a zoo.
But, I did seen an episode of Futurama with the ZooKeeper. The point I am trying to make, or the take-away from all of this, The bullet point if you may, is that I watch a lot of cartoons.
Maybe you are joking, but the "zoo" in zooplankton does not directly have anything to do with a zoo (as in the one there are zookeepers) zoo as in the park is actual short for zoological park/garden, a place where animals could be studied. Zoo comes from greek meaning animal (and -logy is the study of). So to be clear, zooplankton is not plankton specifically to be found in zoos
On a sidenote, for me it feels slightly weird to see it without extra indication of pronunciation. We write it as zoölogy so it is clear it is not zool-ogy but zoo-o-logy.
This could actually apply to alot of these words. It comes from Greek ἀμφί (amphí) + βίος (bíos, “life”). Today, however, these would be considered as either cranberry morphs, meaning when a morpheme appears to exist but doesn't (for example -mit in remit, transmit, commit, submit etc., or -bious in amphibious), or unpaired words, where the existence of a particular affix (for example non-) makes it seem as though an antonym should be formed upon its removal, but isn't (for example nonplussed and *plussed or nonchalant and *chalant). I suppose you can hence say that 'amphi-' is a prefix just as much as, say, 'bi-' or 'mal-' (you're not using 'ped' or 'feasance' anymore either), in that they were once formed from productive means whereas now they are just fossilised but the affixational morphology is still clear.
Missed; zoo, multi (should have gotten that one), down, syn (could help to think about taxes) and non. I was about to look nondairy up, because I wanted to say I have never heard of it and wondered what it could mean, but then it dawned, ow do they mean non-dairy? It is weird without a hyphen.
Counterpunch and nondairy are both words that sound fake to me (but I believe that the quiz is correct of course!). I missed some good ones - Synapse and Syntax is satisfying
