"inter" = prefix [a preposition in Latin, meaning "between"]

rupt = root [comes from the Latin word <i>rumpo ... ruptus</i> meaning "to break"]

ion = suffix

And yes, "plac" is the root [from the Latin verb <i>placeo</i> meaning " to please"]

You're welcome.

If you take Latin, or at least study Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and suffixes, you'll greatly expand your vocabulary.
