Bound root. As illustrated by the example antecedent, a bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root.Unlike a free root, it is a bound form and has to combine with other morphemes to make words. Take-dict- for example. It is a Latin root which conveys the meaning of ‘say or speak’, but it is not a word in its own right. Yet with affixes, it can form quite a number of words. For example, with the prefixes contra - ( against) and pre - ( before) we obtain the verbs contradict meaning ‘speak against’ and predict meaning ‘tell be-forehand’; with the suffix -ion, we form contradiction and prediction; with the suffix -or, we have contradictor and predictor. Apart from the, dictum, dictate, dictation, dictator, diction, dictionary are all derived from the root -dict-.In English, bound roots are either Latin or
Greek.Although they are limited in number, their productive power is amazing. They give birth to thousands and thousands of derived words in modern English.
