paragraph

Answer 1

The words that contain a Greek root meaning "to write" are:

• graphite
• paragraph

Both of these words derive from the Greek root "graph," which means "to write." The word "grammar" is related to writing as well, but it comes from a different etymological path focusing on the rules of writing and language rather than directly meaning "to write." The word "grave" does not contain this root.
