Excerpt from Derivation of Words, With Exercises on Prefixes, Suffixes, and Stems: An Appendix to Practical Lessons in the Use of English for Grammar Schools A word that cannot be reduced to a simpler form is called a primitive word; as, true, sun. A word formed by means of a prefix or a suffix is called a derivative word as, untrue, sunny. A syllable added to the beginning of a word, to vary its meaning, is called 5 prefix; as, unkind, not kind. A syllable added to the end of a word, to vary its meaning, is called a suffix; as, fearless, without fear.
