monologue 的切分如下:
monologue = mono- (one, single 独自一人) + log (idea, word, speech, discussion, reason, study 主意; 词; 言语; 讨论; 道理; 科学。 此处log = 言语) + -ue (-ue does not have a meaning, logue is same as log -ue无意思)
monologue = a speech by one speaker 独自言语
monologue = extended further to mean a long speech by one person who monopolizing a conversation 引申为独角戏
该词的重要词根如下:

mono-
Note: You may sometimes find that a vowel such as o is often inserted between two roots, as o inserted between phon and graph in phonograph = phon + o + graph, the reason is for easy pronounciation. Another example is archaeology = archae + o + logy
