A word part is basically a couple of simple letters such as in, un, de.

The simple use of putting the word part "un" in front of words completely changes the meaning to the opposite.

ie. Something necessary becomes unnecessary, usual to unusual.

Thereby simply adding a wordpart can completely change the meaning of a word.
