Affix
An
affix (in modern sense) is a
morpheme that is attached to a word
stem to form a new word. Affixes may be
derivational, like English
-ness and
pre-, or
inflectional, like English plural
-s and past tense
-ed. They are
bound morphemes by definition;
prefixes and
suffixes may be
separable affixes. Affixation is, thus, the linguistic process speakers use to form different words by adding morphemes (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation) or the end (suffixation) of words.
