  AFFIXATION An affix is a group of letters that are generally added to the beginning or the end of a root word that can change the word's meaning. SUFFIXES Suffixes are syllables added to the end of words to change or add to their meaning. They often change a word’s part of speech, thereby also changing how the word functions in a sentence. Suffixes tell you whether a word is a person, place, or thing (a noun); an action or state of being (a verb); or a modifier, which is a word that describes (an adjective or adverb).

ENDOCENTRIC AND EXOCENTRIC COMPOUNDS Compounds words are words that are made by the combination of two or more free morphemes. The compound words are semantically divided into two categories: Endocentric and exocentric compounds. -  Endocentric compound nouns It is a kind of compound in which one element acts as the head and the other as its extension, ascribing a property to the head. In addition the head expresses the compound's central meaning. Examples: Newspaper, textbook, classroom, handbag and bookstore Textbooks Word On Wood Stamps  -  Exocentric compound nouns The exocentric compound is a compound construction without a keyword, that is, it doesn't have a head. They also don't look like what they say. Examples: Scarecrow, redhead, pickpocket, showoff and paperback. Pickpocket Word Cloud Concept REFERENCE Hacken, P. t. (2017). The semantics of compounding .
