Any good dictionary will have the etymology of a word.

I was looking for just the word roots, so I can play with words, maybe try making up words for fun. In English, how do people make new words?

Making new words is called neology. People who are neologists invent new words. They coin words.

Google the words “neologism” and see what you can find.
