etymology

Shown from explanation

Explanation:

How do you define the base of something: in common word formation we say words are formed combining affixes to root words . Affixes come before or after root words.

For example. Unfaithful..'un' is a prefix , 'ful' is suffix . Both are referred to as affixes.

Faith is the root word . So root word is that single form where an expression is tagged sensible and from it other words are derived

Etymology would well be applicable in biology.
