Undoubtedly, more.
If one word can have one or two prefixes and one or two suffixes, then there are five words made from that one, right?
Help please!
Numerous English words have a root and an affix. Do you think that the availability of affixes means there are more or fewer words in the English language

So can you help explain more of the question i had asked though
What's hard to understand about it?
We have root words (base forms).
We can add prefixes to the beginning of the root word to change the meaning of the base word. (misrepresent -- the prefix "mis" makes it a negative)
We can add suffixes to the end of the root word to change it from a noun to a verb or an adjective, depending on the suffix. ("represent" is a verb; "representation" is the noun form of that verb)
Try it out with different words. Let us know what you come up with.
