First, you can join two or more existing words or word-parts together. If you join two words, you get a compound - for instance, hair and brush make the compound hairbrush I you add an affix to a word, you get a ‘derivative’ - for instance, un- + pack becomes unpack. There is also a particular sort of compound that has become popular over the past 150 years, known as a blend, To make a blend, you join the front part of one word to the end of another word - for instance, motor and hotel blended together to make motel ‘The second way is to put an existing word to a new use. Mostly this just involves a change in meaning - for instance, buff ‘an enthusiast’ (as in’a film buff) comes from buff the name of a brownish-yellow colour (originally volunteer firefighters in New York, who needed to be very keen to do it for no pay, used to wear buff-coloured uniforms). But you can also put a word to anew grammatical use - for instance, you can use a noun asa verb (e.g. to bicycle, to wolf), This process is generally known as conversion. The third thing you can do is to shorten an existing word There are various ways of going about this. You can remove a part of the word (usually the end, e.g. exam, photo). This is known technically as clipping. One particular sort of shortening is to remove a suffix (e.g destruct from destruction). This is called back-formation. An extreme form of shortening is to leave only the first letter. A sequence of such letters is called an initialism (e.g. BBC, EU, YWCA). And if you pronounce the sequence as an ordinary word, it becomes an acronym (e.g. AIDS, NATO, ROM). Finally, a tiny proportion of new English words are simply made up out of thin air e.g. nylon, gnome, hobbit, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious).

One function is to create words within a word family and change the part of speech to use in different grammatical contexts, The meaning of the word may remain the same (e.g, stable to stability) or it may modify the meaning to some extent (e.g. stable to destabilise or image to unimaginably). The other main function is to change or modify the meaning of the root word, creating a new word family, For example, the meaning of act can be modified by adding the prefix trans- to form a new word family: transaction, transactivation, etc. Similarly, the meaning of hand can be modified by adding the suffix -le to form handle, which has a different meaning. ‘The majority of affixes which create derivatives within a word family are suffixes (e.g. wide to widening). However, prefixes are also used (e.g. large to enlarge), particularly with negatives (e.g. effect to inefficient) Beware of the internal changes required when you use affixes (e.g. fly to flightless) and the differences in meaning between derivatives that are the same part of speech (e.g. history to historic or historical) Most affixes which create new word families are prefixes (eg. act to counteract). However, suffixes can also sometimes be used to change or modify meaning (eg. diction to dictionary, clock to clockwise). Beware of the exceptions to the general meanings of the affixes (eg. infamous does not mean ‘not famous’) You may also have to form compound words like handle to manhandle (not usually considered to be affixes), or phrasal nouns (e.g. wash to backwash) and phrasal adjectives (e.g: wear to worn-out) (usually derived from phrasal verbs). Beware of the position of the particles as they can change the meanings of the compounds (e.g. break to outbreak or breakout).
