WORD FORMATION IN LATIN 



DERIVATION 



Latin has developed derivation enormously, while composition 

 has had a relatively feeble development. This is explained by 

 the fact that derivation must have maintained the lead which it 

 doubtless acquired during the formative period of the language, 

 and, also, by the fact that the need for compound words during 

 the classic and post-classic periods was supplied by repeated and 

 extensive borrowing from Greek. Derivation has, in conse- 

 quence, a much greater importance for the nomenclator than 

 composition, a condition quite contrary to that which prevails in 

 Greek. As in the latter language, nominal derivatives are formed 

 by adding noun or adjective suffixes to roots or stems.
