25 Examples of Lexical Families

Lexical Families

The lexical families they are sets of words that are joined by the same root that makes the match syntactic and semantic at the same time. For example: skillfully, skillfully, enabling, enabling, skillfully.

All the words of the same lexical family will have a coincidence in the sense, but they will also appeal to the same spelling rules for their writing.

Indeed, what is usually involved is to add to that root prefixes, suffixes or interfixes to the root of the word, generally derived from a language other than the one that is actually being spoken: in Spanish, it is common for the roots to be Latin voice overs.

Two words from the same lexical family will not be the same semantic field (because they do not coincide in their structure) nor will they necessarily be of the same syntactic type (since they may appear in different places, even in different categories).
