If a root word is by itself, you could add a prefix or suffix or add another word to create a compound word.
For example, "wordsmith" is formed by combining "word" and "smith" to mean someone who is skilled in working with words, while both "word" and "smith" can stand perfectly well on their own.
If the root word is not a word by itself, add -ible
Add is a root word.

You would add the prefix "Re-" to the root word figure in order to create a word that means to create a form or image of something again.
You would add 'non' to the beginning so it becomes 'nonlinear'.
A root word is the starting point of a word and you can add prefixes before the root and/or suffix after the root to create a new word. Prim is already a root word so therefore the root word of prim is prim.
a prefix is an affix added to a word root or a word stem. Examples: root: cook prefix: pre - whole finished word: precook one can add numerous (however, also a limited amount) affixes to a word root or stem. To complete the above word, one could also add an "-ed" suffix (which comes at the end) root: cook prefix: pre - suffix: -ed whole finished word: precooked the affixes can either be: prefixes, which come at the beginning of a root suffixes, which come at the end circumfixes, which go around the word root (not that common in English) infixes, which go inside a word root or stem (also not that common)
The suffix you could add to the root word "truth" to create a word that means characterized by honesty is "-ful", resulting in the word "truthful".
The root word is like the base. You can add begenings and endings to a root word. For example, the root word is LOVE you can add ER to make it LOVER.
To add the suffix -ment to the root "embezzle," you would simply combine the two to form the word "embezzlement." This term refers to the act of embezzling or dishonestly appropriating funds for personal use.

Sometimes with a sufix you have to take away a letter to add the sufix to the end which is why the letter e has been taken away from the root word sense in most of them.Sufixes: Senseless, Sensation,Sensitive, Sensible.Prefixes: Nonsense.Hope this helps.
The prefix you would add to the root word "figure" to create a word that means to take away or undo the original appearance of somebody or something is "de-." So the word would be "defigure."
add
You would add the suffix -less meaning without or lacking, to make "senseless."
You would add 'non' to the beginning so it becomes 'nonlinear'.
Pre- is the prefix you would add to a root word in order to create a word that means "to represent a form of a person, thing, or event before it was presently relevant."
A base word is the root word. Suppose you take the word added. Add would be the base word. Another example clapping- clap would be the base word.
