base word

in prefixes and suffixes, a base word is a word which the prefix/suffix is given to.

If it's a prefix, then it goes at the beginning of the base word, if it's a suffix, it goes at the end.

prefix

a series of letters added to the start of the word to make a new word with a new meaning. some examples of prefixes are:
un-/in- = not
over- = too much
under- = too less.
Like a suffix, when a prefix is added to a word, the word becomes a base word.

A prefix is used to change words!

suffix

a series of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word with a new definition. Some examples of suffixes are;
-ing = doing
-ly = verb
-s/-es = plural
Like a prefix, when a suffix is added to a word, the word put on becomes a base word.

Suffix goes first, then the base word, not vice versa!
