Back at the end of July, I investigated the words <add> and <addition>. I undercovered the base <d>, but I misidentified the meaning. As Gina Cooke of Linguistic Educators Exchange pointed out to me on Twitter, at least two distinct <d> base elements exist. The words <add> and <addition> come from the PIE root *do- “to give.” A handful of related words come from the PIE root *dhe- “to put, place”: <abscond>, <condiment>, <incondite>, and <recondite>.
<d>
“set, put” from -dere “put,” from PIE root *dhe- “to put, place”
