A lot of quiz questions supply clues to the answer by describing the etymology of the word. Whether Latin, Greek or Sanskrit, knowing where your words came from can make the difference between being a good quizzer and an excellent one.
Even modern languages - Spanish, French and Arabic in particular - feature prominently in various questions.
Familiarize yourself with roots of words and work on your language skills.
An excellent resource is Etymonline
