Root is the irreducible core of a


                                word, with absolutely nothing


                              else attached to it. Roots can be


                                     free morpheme or a word



                                 element which the other new


                                  words grow, usually through


                                addition prefixes and suffixes.









                                                     Example :


                                         unhappy, root : happy
