Wordle Answer for December 26, 2024

What affix means

A word element such as a prefix or suffix that is attached to the beginning or end of a root word to modify its meaning or create a new word.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *affixer*, meaning to fasten or attach, derived from Latin *affixus*, the past participle of *affigere*. This combines *ad-* (to) and *figere* (to fix or fasten). The word entered English in the 15th century, initially with the sense of physically fastening something, then later applied to attaching letters or elements to the root of a word in grammar.
