A zoo is an area that maintains a collection of wild animals. From the Greek word 'zoion' meaning 'animal'
zoo is short for zoological garden, zoological comes from the greek word zoion which means animal
Some words that have the root word "zoo" are zookeeper, zoology, and zoo. The root "zoo" comes from the Greek word "zoion" meaning "animal", so words containing this root usually pertain to animals or the study of animals.
No, the prefix "zoo" actually comes from the Greek word "zōion," which means "animal." It is commonly used in words related to animals, such as zoo (a place where animals are kept for public display) and zoology (the study of animals).
Zoo comes from zoological garden which is what zoos were called in 1840. The "zoo-" in zoological comes from the Greek word zôion which means animal.
Words are made up of root words. Like the root word of runners is run. So the root word of zoology would be zoo. Zoology means a science or branch of biology that has to do with animals. Hope this helps :)

"Zoo" is a shortened form of "zoological garden," which is, as you know, a garden or park where wild animals are kept for exhibition. The combining form, zo or zoo -- as in zoological -- is from the Greek zoe, which means "life."

The word zoo is an abbreviation of the terms "zoological garden", which refers to "zoology", the study of animals. This word comes from two Greek words, ("zwo" meaning "animal" and "logos" meaning "study") zoology. It was first changed into the abbreviated form, "Zoo" when referring to the "Gardens and Menagerie of the Zoological Society of London, they often shortened the name to "London Zoological Gardens", or the "London Zoo" which was first opened to the public in 1847, and the abbreviation "zoo" was printed about the same time. But it took a song to make the term really popular, "Walking in the Zoo on Sunday". For more details, please see the site listed below.
