Cevap

peremptory
The word 'peremptory' is formed from the prefix 'per-' (thoroughly) and the root 'emere' (to take/obtain). In English lexis, it describes an insistence, tone, or command that is absolute, final, and dictatorially binding, leaving no room for refusal.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prefix and root requirements in the stem
The target word requires the Latin prefix 'per-' (thoroughly) combined with the root 'emere' (to take/obtain).
Etymological analysis isolates words formed by specific morphological components.
2
Evaluate candidate words for morphological alignment and contextual definition
The word 'peremptory' originates from Latin *peremptorius* (from *per-emere*, meaning to take away entirely or destroy/settle decisively), denoting a command or manner that is final and imperious.
Matches both the requested classical root elements and the contextual meaning of admitting no refusal.
