- gives a for narrow, and there is no separate root for it, so the prefix earns its keep here. is the width as a measurement and o the quality of being wide.
Keep it apart from . measures across one dimension, side to side: a street, a door, a pair of shoulders. is about extent over an area, a plain or a landscape or the reach of somebody's knowledge. English broad blurs the two, so translating by instinct will occasionally put you in the wrong dimension.
