What is another word for affixation?
Pronunciation: [ɐfɪksˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA)

One of the most commonly used is "derivation," which refers to the creation of a new word from an existing one through the addition of a morpheme. Another synonym is "prefixation," which specifically refers to the addition of a prefix to a word. "Suffixation," on the other hand, refers to the addition of a suffix.
