Scope note

  • With derivational suffixes, the new word has a new meaning, and is usually a different part of speech. But the new meaning is related to the old meaning - it is "derived" from the old meaning.We can add more than one suffix, as in this example: derive (verb) + ation → derivation (noun) + al → derivational (adjective).
