"Positive" is not a word formed from a root modified by affixes. It is from Latin positīvus

, formally laid down, from positus

, past participle of pōnere, to place.

It has no root word.

If a is negative, a^2 is positive, and since √ is a positive square root, √(a^2) is -a. So if a is positive, √(a^2) is positive (which is a) If a is negative, √(a^2) is also positive (which is -a) So √(a^2) is |a| for every a.
