Friendly, unfriendly, befriending, befriended, unfriend, unfriendly.
The base of a word, also known as the root, is the main part of the word that carries its core meaning and is left after all prefixes and suffixes are removed. It is the foundation upon which prefixes and suffixes are added to create new words or modify the meaning of the base word.
The middle part of a word is called the root or base word. It is the main part of the word to which prefixes and suffixes can be added to create new meanings.
There is always a base word to a word with prefixes or suffixs, for example in the word pre game, game is the base word, and pre is the prefix. Prefixes are always at the begging of a base word and suffixes are always at the end of a word. In the word treated, Ed isn't a word by itself, however treated is a word by itself, therefor treat is the base word, and ed is at the end so it is a suffix. I hope this helps :)
A base word is a word by itself, and you can add prefixes and suffixes to change the tense. ("Sing is a word by itself, but I can change it to "singing" or "singer.") A root word has no meaning on its own; you have to add suffixes and prefixes for it to mean anything at all. ("Rupt" is not a word, but I can make it "disrupt" or "erupt" or "rupture.")
Prefixes: by-, sur- Suffixes: -able, -er, -ing

Prefixes and suffixes in like a name like a person
No, the additional prefixes are redundant and add nothing to the meaning.

Affixes are prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and circumfixes. Prefixes are attached at the beginning of a word, while suffixes are attached at the end of a word. Infixes are inserted within a word, and circumfixes surround a word.
There is no root word because there are no suffixes or prefixes.
The base part of a word is the main part that carries the core meaning. It is the word without any prefixes or suffixes attached.
