I don't know, but let me know if you find a list like that. It would be very useful. I assume you mean this sort of thing:

vomit - throw up
continue - keep on
select - pick out
accelerate - speed up

decelerate - slow down

I too am looking for such a list - Latin words vs their equivalent phrasal verbs. I find most of my students learn a very formal Latin based English and so much of my time is spent teaching the English versions on these Latin words.
