Inflection
Inflection (or inflexion) is a piece added to a word to express variations in grammar. The added bits are called affixes. They are prefixes (in front), suffixes (at the end) and infixes (in the middle). They are added to the "root", the part of the word which does not change.
Some languages such as Latin or Sanskrit have complex inflections that they apply to most of their words. Others, such as English, are less inflected. Some, such as Mandarin Chinese, use no inflections.
Examples in English:
Word family
A word family is the base form of a word plus its inflected forms made with affixes.
The idea is that a base word and its inflected forms support the same core meaning. A learner needs to understand both the base word and the affix.
