English Grammar Question?

derivative comes to mind

You are adding affixes to the base word (in this case suffixes)

It is a process of adding affixes to the word. By doing so, the word changes its meaning.

Affixes could be a prefix which is added at the beginning of the word or a suffix which is added at the end of the word.

In the instant case, the root word is Success.

Example of a prefix added to the root word success:

Unsuccessful. Un- is the prefix here. The word is given an entirely different meaning. The noun success, now becomes an adjective. It means not achieving success or unfortunate.

Example of a suffix added to the root word success:

Successful. -Ful is the suffix here. From the noun success, it becomes an adjective by adding the suffix to it. It means having achieved success, honor, or wealth.

In this case, Success is a root word. With the addition of prefixes and suffixes, the word's meaning is changed.

Each is a derivative of success.
