Learn the skill
Use these meaning clues: bio connects with life; geo with Earth; tele with distance; micro with small things. First find a known part, then read the complete word and its sentence. Do not treat a matching string of letters as a definition. The notes below provide the whole-word meanings so you can check your reasoning.
Worked example
A microscope helps us examine very small details. Micro supplies small, but it does not tell us the instrument's color, price or physical size. The whole word tells us its purpose.
