HOUSEKEEPING:
-OUS: This Suffix means “ is Filled With”Magnanimous – filled with generosity and forgivenessmagnanimousOn first glance, MAGNANIMOUS looks like a “big” and difficult SAT word. But looks can be deceiving. Let’s use our knowledge of prefixes, roots, and the suffix –OUS to divide and conquer MAGNANIMOUS.
The prefix MAGNA is easy to recognize. It means “big” as in the word MAGNIFY. The root ANIM comes from the Latin “animex” meaning “breath” or “soul.” An animal is thus a living, breathing thing, and an inanimate object lacks spirit. And finally, the suffix –OUS means “is Filled With.” So MAGNANIMOUS literally means “filled with a great spirit” and therefore generous and forgiving.
For example, following General Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, General Ulysses S. Grant MAGNANIMOUSLY allowed the Confederate officers to keep their side arms and permitted soldiers to keep personal horses and mules. The Union troops then MAGNANIMOUSLY saluted as their defeated foes marched past them.
