The Greek word amphi means the same thing, so I have grouped these prefixes in today's article. ambidextrous (adj) - able to use either hand equally well.

Frogs, toads, and salamanders are all amphibians. The word amphibian comes from the Greek word amphibios, which means to live a double life. The noun amphibian has its roots in the words amphi, meaning of both kinds, and bios, meaning life. The word is used for the class of animals that spend part of their lives in water and part on land.
