it is the stem
Hiatus is a Latin word meaning opening, gap or rupture
Some words that have the root "clam" in them include clamor, exclaim, and proclamation.
I can only think of one stem in the word "concussion" which is "con". Con means together.
The stem word in "significant" is "signific." This is the root form of the word before any suffixes are added.
Polis doesn't have any wors stems! polis is actually a word stem itself polis means city. for example police has polis in it as a word stem!
Ecosystem, stemware, systematic.

The stem word for slyly is sly.
