Answer 1

WORD
misused = mis (prefix) us (root) ed (suffix) [The root is from the Latin word <i>usus</i> -- http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=use&searchmode=none ]

subscribe = sub (prefix) scribe (root) [no suffix]

distorted = dis (prefix) tort (root) ed (suffix)

regression = re (prefix) gress (root) ion (suffix; or maybe -sion) [<i>gress</i> comes from the Latin verb <i>gradior</i> whose present perfect form is <i>gressus sum</i>]

deported
interruption
prefix
dissection
postscript
implacable

Can you do the rest?
