Word Parts Working with parts of words – Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes. Many complex words in English have different parts that help speakers understand their definitions, use, and origins.

Word Parts Prefixes – a series of letters appearing before the root or main part of the word. For example, the word “prefix” has the phrase “pre” before the root “fix.” “Pre” means before.

Word Parts (Roots or Stems) Root – the main part of a word when prefixes or suffixes are attached to it. For example, in the word “malcontent” MAL is the prefix to the root word, CONTENT.

Word Parts - Suffixes Suffix – a series of letters appearing after the root or main part of a word. For example, the phrase “tion” is used to make a verb into a noun, as in how “to revolt” can become “revolution”.
