Root

root, or a root word, is a word that does not have a prefix in front of the word or a suffix at the end of the word. 

The root word is the primary lexical unit of a word, and of a word family (root is then called base word), which carries the most significant aspects of semantic content and cannot be reduced into smaller constituents. 

Content words in nearly all languages contain, and may consist only of root morphemes.
