Morphology
segregate = segreg + ate
Formed from Latin se- ('apart') + root 'greg' with the verb-forming '-ate'; the overall meaning 'separate' is guessable, but the root 'greg' is not a familiar English word and the structure is a learned Latinate formation.
Etymology
Segregate comes from the Latin parts se- 'apart' and greg 'flock', the same root you see in congregate. So to segregate something is to put it 'apart from the group', which is why we use it for separating departments, cells, or types of waste.
