Answer 1

A word element attached to a root word that changes its meaning is called: a. Affix. :) hope this helps.

Answer 2

A: affix

Step-by-step explanation:

A word element attached to a root word that changes its meaning is called an affix . New words are created from the root word (a base), by adding an affix before or after it. When a word element is attatched before the root, it is called a prefix (Example: in, un : infidel, unhappy). If it is placed after the root, it is called a suffix (Example: less : careless).
