A prim itive word is that which is not derived from any other word in our language ; as, prefer. A derivative word is that which comes from some other word; as, from prefer are derived, prefer'-ing, prefer'-rest, preferreth, prefer'-red, prefer'-ment, prefer-able, pref'er-ence. Derivative words are generally formed by affixing one or more syllables to the primitive; as, ra'ven, rav'enous; faith, faithe ful, fuitb-ful-ness. Sometimes the ending of the primitive is changed; as, provide, provi-siin; cohere, cohe-sion ; compel, compul-sion. Note. When the primitive word ends in e, and the termination added begins with a vowel, the e is dropped in the derivative; as, save, sav-ing, sav-est, sav-eth, sav-ed; see, se-est, seeth, (but double e, accented, is retained before ing; as, sceing)-write, writ-ing, writer, &c. except, after C, and g, before the termination able; as, service-able, change-able : also in other words, when the accent is on the last syllable of the primitive ; as agree'oble. But when the syllable added begins with a consonant, the e final is always retained : as, grace-ful, lovely polite-ness, agree-ment; except after dg, before the termination ment ; as, judge, judg-ment ; acknowledge, acknowledg ment. When the primitive ends in y, they is changed inio i, in the derivative; as, cry, cri-est, cri.eth, cri-ed, criar ; mercy, merci-ful; marry, married, marri-age, &c. But gy is retained before the termination ing ; as, cry, cry-ing; marry, murry-ing. When the primitive ends in ie, the e is dropped, and the i changed into y, before ing ; as, die, dy-ing ; lie , ly.ing, &c. When the primitive word ends with a single consonant, accented, preceded by a single vowel, that consonant is doubled in the derivative; as, rob, rob-bing, reb-ber ; drum, dium-mer; drop, drop ped ; sit, sit-ting.
