ABSTRACT

Root Words – sometimes called base words – are the main part or stem of a word. They can be words in themselves. They can take a prefix or suffix, or both. The root word here is ‘sign’:

resign signal designer

Prefixes are (groups of) letters that go at the beginning of a word and change its meaning:

deform inform perform reform uniform

Suffixes are (groups of) letters that go at the end of a word and change its meaning and the way it is used:

loves loved loving lover loveable
