The part of the tooth that anchors it to the bone and is normally beneath the gum.

A primitive form of speech; one of the earliest terms employed in language; a word from which other words are formed; a radix, or radical.

the basic part of a word that usually carries the main component of meaning and that cannot be further analyzed without loss of identity. in a complex word, the meaningful base form after all affixes are removed. Note: A root may be independent, or free, as read in unreadable, or may be dependent, or bound, as -liter- (from the Greek for letter) in illiterate. Cp. bound morpheme; free morpheme.

Reference to a basic item in linguistics. Example: the stem from which a word is derived, such as the cluster of three conso­nants in Semit­ic words, e.g. n z l for nazala (Arabic 'descend') or y r d for yarad ('descend' in Hebrew) and all their derivatives.

That part of a word left when all affixes are removed; the morpheme that carries the minimal unit of meaning in a word and can be common to several different words. The three consonants in Hebrew that ordinarily compose the basic uninflected spelling of a word are called the root letters. Occasionally a Hebrew word may have two or four root letters. Gk: the root dik- is common to dikaio", "righteous," dikh, "justice," and dikaiow, "to acquit." Also called "Lexeme."

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 ( 2004-02-04) There is exactly one element, called the root, or document element, no part of which appears in the content of any other element.

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 ( 2000-10-06) There is exactly one element, called the root, or document element, no part of which appears in the content of any other element.

The outermost element in an XML document. The element that contains all other elements.

An element located at the first level of an XML structure.

the set of values that give a true statement when substituted into an equation

A root of an equation in one variable is a solution of the equation.

root of an equation: (See also equation.) + 2 = 6 = 1 is a root 2 - 4 = 0 = ± 2 are roots. root of a quantity: (See also power and radical.) square root cube root-th root(the -th root of is a number such that = )

Mathematics: The root of an equation is the same as a solution to the equation. Some equations have single solutions. Equations with single solutions have single roots. However, some equations have two or more solutions. For instance, a quadratic equation has two solutions. Therefore, a quadratic equation has two roots. Some equations have an infinite number of solutions. Those equations have an infinite number of roots.

ROOT is an OO framework for large-scale scientific data analysis and data mining. It contains an efficient hierarchical OO database, a C++ interpreter, advanced statistical analysis, visualization, introspection, documentation, networking, and GUI classes. The command/scripting language is C++, and large scripts can be compiled and dynamically linked in.

A class library for data analysis. The ROOT package provides an extensive set of functionality for data analysis in high-energy physics; it includes data display, persistency, minimization, fundamental classes, etc., as well as an interactive interpreter. The full class reference, tutorials, and other documentation, are available at the ROOT project site.

ROOT (its not an acronym) is an object-oriented data analysis framework developed at CERN. It is based on C++ and is designed to handle and analyse large amounts of data in a very efficient way. ISDC ROOT is an extension of ROOT developed at the ISDC for specific tasks.

ROOT is a powerful object oriented data analysis package developed by CERN to replace earlier packages (which include PAW, CERNLIB). ROOT is written in C++, on an ad hoc platform that provides a graphical user interface, container classes, reflection, and a command line interpreter (CINT). The packages provided by ROOT include those for histogram Ming, curve fitting (regression analysis), minimization of functional, matrix algebra, four-vector computations.

Spell that renders a target immobile. However the target can still cast spells or fight, they can't move however. Hitting a character that is rooted will normally break the root.

a spell/ability that immobilizes the character that has its effect

a state effect that keeps a target in one place for a short period of time

To trap a target in place/stuck using a "root" type spell such as Entangling Roots.

To turn up the earth with the snout, as swine.

To turn up or to dig out with the snout; as, the swine roots the earth.
