Description
What are āCombining Formsā?
Combining form is a form of a word that can combine with free word, root word or another combining form to get a new word. āCombining formā adds extra meaning to the new word. āCombining formā is added to the beginning or end of free word, root word or another combining form.
(A). Examples of āCombining form + Free Wordā:
Agro- + Industry = Agro-industry
Agro- denotes: connected with farming
(B). Example of āCombining form + Root Wordā:
Aero- + Gramme = Aerogramm
Aero- denotes: connected with aircraft
Gramme denotes: writing
(C). Examples of āCombining form + Combining formā:
Hydro- + -Logy = Hydrology [the scientific study of the earth's water]
Hydro- denotes: relating to water
-Logy denotes: a subject of study
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. āCombining formā generally cannot stand alone as free words, but there are many exceptions to this rule.
EXAMPLES:
Combining Form: -like [free word]
lotus + -like = lotus-like
rope + -like = rope-like
-like- denotes: similar to the thing that is mentioned
2. Many Words ending in ā-edā, ā-enā, etc. are used as COMBINING FORMS.
EXAMPLES:
Combining Form: -based (ending in ā-edā)
foreign + -based = foreign-based
demand + -based = demand-based
-based denotes: containing something as an important feature or part
3. Many words ending in ā-ingā are used as COMBINING FORMS.
EXAMPLES:
Combining Form: -looking (ending in ā-ingā)
fine + -looking = fine-looking
suspicious + -looking = suspicious-looking
