Greek Root Pan

Pan- Meaning all, everything
Intro
The reason that I picked this Greek root is because I have many interests in this Greek root. Just the word pan, which is the word I chose, is interesting because it holds so many fascinating words such as pandemic and Pangaea. I also chose this way to publish these words is because I tend to learn and understand words better with sentences and if the words are in a list so that it is easier read. As you will plainly see from the list that is about to be presented to you many of the words are dealing with the body and psychology due to the fact that both of the fields tend to use a lot of Latin and Greek terms. So this helps in the search of locating these words and being able to have an idea of what they mean.
