eco
house, household, habitat
Greek · oikos (οἶκος)
Greek oikos 'house'. Eco words treat the whole world as a home: ecology studies how living things share a home, economy is the 'management of a household' and how a country handles its money.
Memory trick
ECO = home: ecology studies nature's home, economy manages the family home's money.
