How to Create NEW Words with 5-Letter T-Words?

As mentioned above, you can create many words with the existing 5-letter t-words. Wondering how to do that? Below are listed the techniques for making new words with the already learned t-words;

1. Adding Suffix -ing

Suffixes are defined as the small word parts that are attached to the end of the word for creating a word. You can add the suffix -ing to some 5-letter t-words to make new vocabulary words. Such as;

Type (root) + ing =Typing
Tuck (root) + ing= Tucking
Trim (root) + ing = Trimming

Note: In this case, the original meanings of the root words sustain their meanings after the suffix -ing is added to them. There can be certain cases where the meanings of root words change after adding the suffixes to them.

2. Adding Suffixes -ly and -fully

Most 5-letter t-words can be attached to the suffixes -ly and -fully to make them adverbs. Examples are given below;

True + ly = truly
Truth + fully = truthfully

Note: The meanings of the root words remain the same after adding the suffix -ly and -fully.

3. The Create-Compound-Word Technique

The words created by combining two or more words (having individual meanings) are called compound words. Such as

Table + Cloth = Tablecloth (compound word)
Take + off = Takeoff (compound word)
Throw + Back = Throwback (compound word)

Note: The meanings of compound words are different from the individual words that are used to form the words.

4. Backformation

The process of removing a few words to create a new word, is called backformation. Have a look at these examples for further clarification;

Toyed= Toy (From verb to noun)
Today =to (From adverb to a preposition)

Note: In some cases, the removal of the suffix changes the class of the root word (as shown in the examples above).

Final Words

If you want to become a legendary English speaker or a writer, know that learning cool words is the very first step that is un-skip-able. Get your 5-letter t-words list ready and start practicing. Remember, the more you’ll practice, the better you will be able to retain the learned vocabulary words in your memory.
