Root, Prefix and Suffix

An English word can be made up of three elements: the root, a prefix and a suffix.

*The part of the word that contains the basic meaning is called the Root (e.g. act, form, and test). It is the foundation of the word.*The word part that is placed in front of a root is called a Prefix.(e.g. “re” + act = react < “re” means “back” or “again”).The prefix can change the meaning of the root word and makes a new word.*The part of the word that is placed after the root is called Suffix(e.g. re+ act + <-ion>=reaction < the suffix “-ion” indicates that the word has turned intoa noun.

***Prefixes and suffixes are called affixes because they are connected to a root.
