Example of Parasynthetic Words

The parasynthetic words are those that are formed by means of composition or derivation. Thus, a parasynthetic word is a word that is made up of two or more basic or primitive (compound) words, or a transformed word that uses the use of prefixes and suffixes (derivative). Prefixes are morphemes that are placed before the basic word to change its meaning. Suffixes are linguistic sequences that are placed after the original word, and that also change its meaning.
