The document discusses how words are formed using roots and affixes. It explains that roots come from other languages like Greek and Latin and often indicate a word's meaning. Affixes like prefixes and suffixes can be added to roots or base words to form new words. Examples of common prefixes and suffixes are provided. The document also provides examples of analyzing words by identifying their roots and affixes to determine meaning, and discusses how groups of words with the same root are part of a word family indicating related meanings.
Prefixes and Suffixes
There are 3 processes of word formation in English: affixation- addition of prefixes and sufixes; conversion- use of the word in another class without any changes; and compounding- joining 2 words to form another.
Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added to the beginning or end of another word. They are not words in their own right and cannot stand on their own in a sentence: if they are printed on their own they have a hyphen before or after them.
Prefixes are added to the beginning of an existing word in order to create a new word with a different meaning.
The following is an list of medical prefixes along with their meanings, origin, and an English example.
Example of Prefixes
Prefix Origin Meaning example
