Word formations - Root words and affixes

Root word is a base of a word, the simplest form or structure.
When we say affix, it is something a letter sound, or syllable added to the root word in the beginning or ending. There are two divisions of affix, the prefix and the suffix. Prefix is the one placed at the beginning of a root word while suffix is the one placed at the end o fa root word.
Before when I'm high school, I just only knew all about root words and affixes. Now I learned something new- all about Greek and Latin roots.
I just noticed that the words we usually use have their Latin and Greek roots.
Using this word formations, it can help us to shorten the word we want to say. For example, "write again", by just using word formation(prefix specifically), we can easily say it as "rewrite". In Latin words, cult-(Latin) meaning care for."Cultivate."
