bound morpheme
WHAT: a word element that cannot stand alone as a word, including both prefixes and suffixes.
EX: bound morphemes can further be broken down into two categories; derivational and inflectional morphemes.
FURTHER: Inflectional morphemes predictably influence the base words to signal a change in quantity, person, gender, tense, or the like while leaving the base word's class unchanged.
derivational morphemes are considered lexical because they influence the base word according to its grammatical and lexical class, resulting in a larger change to the base. Derivational morphemes include suffixes like "-ish," "-ous," and "-y" and prefixes like "un-," "im-" and "re-."
