We had some discussion last month of books that relate Greek words to their English cognates: http://discourse.textkit.com/t/book-with-greek-words-to-derived-english-words/19303/1
I do find this sort of thing very useful for the purpose of making vocabulary memorable, and also enjoyable for its own sake. However, I also find that often the real issue is that I need to relate a Greek word to some other basic Greek word that it’s derived from – either a shorter and simpler one that forms its root, or perhaps a word that’s more common so that I already know it. As a way of playing with this kind of stuff in order to build my own proficiency, I came up with the following arrangement of the Homeric vocabulary that I have notes on. Textkit has a length limit on posts, so I’ll put α-ι in this post, then κ-ω in one after that.

The glosses and the software to produce this text are open source: https://github.com/bcrowell/ransom (Many of the glosses are either from Cunliffe or from Wiktionary, which has a license compatible with mine.) This is a complete list of vocabulary for books 1-8 of the Iliad.
So for example, I have a group of words that are all cognate with English “angel,” and as the easiest and most representative word from that group I have ἄγγελος. The word ἄγγελος is listed in alphabetical order, with the English gloss and the cognate that helps in remembering it. Then, indented under that, I have a set of related words such as ἀγγέλλω.
Most words are close to their representative “head” word in alphabetical order, so usually you can find a word of interest simply by scanning through the list by eye. Or if you can guess that ἐξαγγέλλω must be a compound, then it’s not that hard to figure out that you should look under αγ-. One could of course generate an index, or if such a presentation is being used on a computer you can just search.
