<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Latinate affix''' is a term used for [[affix]]es which are derived historically from [[Latin]] (or [[Greek]]), and which only co-occur with Latin or Greek [[root]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
the English suffix -''(t)ion'' cannot be used with native (Germanic) verb roots (*''breaktion''), while it attaches freely to latinate ones (''deduction'').<br />
