    Affixation is the process of attaching affixes, which are groups of letters, to the root or base of a word to create a new meaning. There are three main types of affixes: prefixes, which are added before the root, suffixes after, and circumfixes, which are a combination added before and after. Prefixes can denote manner, time, or negation. Suffixes usually denote a state such as being full of or lacking something. Circumfixes involve changes to both the beginning and end of a word. Affixes cannot stand alone and have meaning only when attached to a root word.
