What word is formed from the following three morphemes: the prefix con-, the root vent, and the suffix -ion? You got it, it’s “convention.” From the meanings of the three morphemes, we know that a “convention” is “the act of coming together ” we also know from the suffix that “convention” must be a noun. The suffix -or also indicates that “inventor” must be a noun. Since the prefix in here means “on” or “upon,” the root vent means “come,” and the suffix -or means “one who,” the meaning of “inventor” becomes “one who comes upon” something, or “finds” something for the first time. By putting together in- + vent + -or, the word “inventor” is formed. Let’s take an in-depth look at the morphology of two words: “inventor” and “convention.” The morphemes of “inventor” include the prefix in-, the root vent-, and the suffix -or. Suffixes are those affixes which end words they can add meaning, and usually determine the part of speech of a word, that is, whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. The root is the primary part of a word it conveys most of the meaning of a word. Prefixes are those affixes which begin a word, adding meaning to the root to which they are attached. Morphemes include affixes, which are primarily prefixes and suffixes. The words morphology and morpheme both come from the Greek root word morph meaning “shape ” morphology is therefore the study of the “shape” words take, whereas morphemes are those building blocks which “shape” the word. Knowing the different morphemes in a word allows one to not only figure out its definition, but also determine whether it’s a noun, verb, or adjective. Morphology is the study of how words are put together or “shaped” by using morphemes, which include prefixes, roots, and suffixes.
