The pair of words that shares the same word root are inspect and spectacles.

Their root word, or the most basic part of the word, which remains when all prefixes and suffixes are removed, is the root word spect. This root word comes from the Latin word spectare, which means to see. This root word is common to these two words because both of them have to do with seeing things.
