Root Word -Grat

This ROOT-WORD is GRAT which means PLEASING. Very PLEASING, indeed, are the words on the list, giving pleasure all around, except No. 6. That is a tricky word to use. Actually it means giving something not asked for. That is implicit in the word because it means unearned, for nothing.
