Here is the sorting of the words according to the meanings of their shared roots:

Write:

  • A. Section (from the Latin 'sectio', meaning to cut, but also relates to part of a written document)
  • C. Diagram (from the Greek 'diagramma', meaning a drawing or written representation)
  • F. Monogram (from 'mono' meaning single and 'gram' meaning writing)

Cut:

  • D. Bisect (from 'bi' meaning two and 'sect' meaning cut)
  • E. Intersect (from 'inter' meaning between and 'sect' meaning cut)
  • G. Dissect (from 'dis' meaning apart and 'sect' meaning cut)

Born:

  • B. Innate (from Latin 'innatus', meaning born within)
  • H. Nativity (from Latin 'nativitas', meaning birth)

So the categories are:

  • Write: A, C, F
  • Cut: D, E, G
  • Born: B, H
