A person who studies word origins and meanings would most likely be an etymologist. Hence the profession he is specializing from is called etymology. Etymology in definition is called a scientific study of words, its history, origin, morphology, structure and meaning. Words although, change through the course of time and by which society uses a certain phrase, word or mantra. Hence, etymology also studies that. It may also mean that word meanings can change because of the ascribed and due to certain occasions.

What is a basic word part that comes from another language?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: Root

Explanation:

Affix, is produced when a grammatical element is being joined with a word, or phrase in order for an infected form of the word to be produced. Affix are typically of three firms which are the prefixes, the innfixes, and the suffixes.

Word roots are simply the words that are taken from other languages and it should be noted that these are where majority of English words come from. Some English words have either Greek or Latin origins. Roots are basic word part that comes from another language.

A prefix is a group of letters that are typically placed before a word's root. e.g "un" which means not can be seen in words like unhappy which simply means not happy.

Unlike prefixes, the suffixes are not added at the start but rather at the end of that word e.g ment, ness etc.

Therefore, based on the explanation, the answer is root.
