Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example if you learn the Latin audi-, which means hearing, listening or sound you immediately have a grasp of the meaning of words such as auditorium, auditory and audible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Latin and Greek are the source of many root words in English. Aud comes from the Latin word meaning “hear” or “listen.” Vocare/voc is from another Latin word meaning “call.” When combined with a prefix, suffix, or another root word, these root words become common English words.

Detailed explanation-3: -aud, audi (hear) audible-adj. heard or able to be heard.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Greek for “I hear” is akoúō. Assuming that a-is, from a historical point of view, a prefix, koú looks like a semi-respectable partner of Germanic hau-s, especially if we remember Greek a-kous-iō “I listen attentively, ” which has s in the root (and which we know from acoustics).

Detailed explanation-5: -Etymology. From the root audi of Latin audiō (“I hear; I listen”) +-o-.
