    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_order

    t. e. In linguistics, word order (also known as linear order) is the order of the syntactic constituents of a language.

Correlations between orders found in different syntactic sub-domains are also of interest.

  9. English prefix - Wikipedia

    Thus, the word do, consisting of a single morpheme, is a verb as is the word redo, which consists of the prefix re-and the base root do. However, there are a few prefixes in English that are class-changing in that the word resulting after prefixation belongs to a lexical category that is different from the lexical category of the base.
