Template:confix/documentation
For use in the Etymology sections of words which consist of only a prefix and a suffix, or which were formed by simultaneous application of a prefix and a suffix to another element.
This template essentially combines the functions of {{prefix}}
and {{suffix}}
, using the “con-” prefix to show both characteristics are combined. The first element is treated as a prefix, whereas the last element is treated as a suffix; an entry in which this template is transcluded will be added automatically to those affixes’ derivation categories.
Examples
editFor example, the derivations of neurogenic and bedewed can be written:
Which generates:
Note this is not the same as
{{confix|en|neuro|gen|ic}}
- Which generates:
- neuro- + gen + -ic since gen does not have a meaning tied to gene but rather links to generation
In contrast, {{compound}}
adds the entry in which it is used to categories of the form "[Language name] compounds". It is intended for true compounds where neither the first nor the second term are affixes.
