Zorluk: ZorWord Formation: Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots

Complete the sentence below by supplying the correct word formed by applying the appropriate prefix and suffix to the root word in brackets.

Cevap:The constitutional court reaffirmed the 【inviolability】 of fundamental human rights, declaring that no executive order could breach or diminish them.

Cevap

inviolability
The correct answer is 'inviolability'. It is formed by attaching the negative prefix 'in-' (meaning 'not') to the root base 'violate', followed by the complex suffix '-ability' (derived from '-able' + '-ity') to form an abstract noun representing the state or quality of being immune to breach or infringement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the syntactic slot and determine the required part of speech.
The blank follows the definite article 'the' and precedes the preposition 'of', indicating that an abstract noun is required.
Grammatical context mandates a noun derived from the verb root 'violate'.
2
Select the correct negative prefix for the Latinate root.
The Latinate root 'viol-' takes the negative prefix 'in-' rather than 'un-' or 'dis-'.
Morphological rules in English specify that words of Latin origin typically take Latinate prefixes such as 'in-' to denote negation.
3
Combine the prefix, root, and adjectival/nominal suffixes to complete word formation.
Combining 'in-' + 'violate' + '-able' + '-ity' produces the noun 'inviolability', meaning the quality of being safe from infringement.
The suffix '-ability' converts the base into an abstract noun signifying the capacity or state of being impossible to violate.
