WORD FORMATION
Definition:
word development is the making of another word. Word arrangement is here and there stood out from semantic change, which is an adjustment in a solitary word's significance.
The limit between word arrangement and semantic change can be hard to characterize: another utilization of an old word can be viewed as another word got from an old one and indistinguishable from it in structure.
Word development can likewise be appeared differently in relation to the arrangement of colloquial articulations, in spite of the fact that words can be shaped from multi-word phrases.
