This website is responsible for my SAT vocabulary. I could never memorize word lists, but I could remember words if I looked it up on etymonline.
Some of the interesting words I still remember:
Maverick
Confluence
Applause
Inculcate
Assiduous
Ever since then it’s been a pleasure guessing at word roots of many new words I face.
