A root is the basic meaning part of a word. It carries the most important part of the word’s meaning. Roots of English words often come from other languages, especially Latin.

The root usually needs a prefix or suffix to make it into a word.

Prefixes and suffixes are affixes, meaningful word parts that can be added to roots and base words

A prefix is a meaningful word part that can be added to the beginning of a root or a base word

A suffix is a meaningful word part that can be added to the end of a root or a base word
