I started to say that is the "root" form of the word. But I believe the "root" actually goes deeper in the history of a given word and is relevent to to the word's origin in another language; such as Greek or Latin. But I think the answer to your question is that the "original" form of a word before it takes a derivative form is called the "primitive". I'm not signed in so I'll say this is Dave Baker from Louisville KY to step out of the shadows of anonymity. Hello world!
