    An affix is a word element that can be added as a prefix, suffix, or infix to a base or root word to form a new word. Prefixes are added before the root, suffixes are added after, and infixes are added within the root. Prefixes often modify meaning, such as adding "dis-" to indicate reversal. Suffixes can change a word's class, such as making a noun from a verb with "-ness." Infixes are used informally to emphasize meaning within a word.
