Concept : Mots en -ORY = -OIRE et -ARY = -AIRE

Instructions
You already know hundreds and hundreds of French words!
French and English share the same root languages: Greek and Latin.
Both languages are about 40% Greek and 40% Latin, which means they are roughly 80% the same at the root level.
Let’s check it out!

Today’s focus: Words ending in -ORY become -OIRE and words ending in -ARY become -AIRE.
