About This Root
From Latin globus (ball, sphere, round mass). Produces globe (a sphere, and 'the globe' = the Earth), global (worldwide), globalization and its family (globalize, globalism), and globular (spherical in shape). The leap from a physical ball to the whole interconnected world is what gives this root its modern political and economic power.
