Given the current state of human civilization, this worksheet on the Greek root dys ought to be useful. It means bad, difficult, abnormal, and impaired. This is another of those roots that shows up all over the English language. For instance, if you work in a public school, there is, I will hazard a guess, a very good chance that the adjective dysfunctional has crossed your lips on more than one occasion.

This is an extremely productive root in English, showing up in words like maternal, alma mater, and the like.
