In the word "unethical," the "un-", "ethic," and "-al" are all examples of **morphemes**.
Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language. In this case:
- "un-" is a prefix (an affix),
- "ethic" is the base word (or root),
- "-al" is a suffix (also an affix).
So, the best answer is **morphemes**.
