Derivation as one of the Word-Formation Process, Bound Morpheme, Affix, Prefix, Suffix, Infix (L-10)

Derivation is a part of Bound Morpheme. It is made by means of many small bits of the English language which are not usually given separate listings in dictionaries. They are known as Affixes.
Affixes are bound morphemes which are usually marginally attached to words, and which change the meaning or function of those words. They are classified according to whether they are attached before or after the form to which they are added.
