Word Matrix: Vegete

Word sums and word matrices are orthographic linguistic tools used in the study of spelling and morphology to help break down and analyze the structure of words including their bases, prefixes, suffixes, and other morphemes. These tools are commonly used in Structured Word Inquiry (SWI), a method that uncovers how words are built and their meanings.

A word sum shows how a word is built by combining its base with other morphemes (prefixes, suffixes, connecting vowels). Word sums are written like mathematical equations, illustrating how different parts of the word come together to form the whole.

A word matrix is a visual tool that shows all the potential combinations of morphemes that can create different forms of a word family from a single base. Word matrices allow for the exploration of multiple related words by demonstrating how different affixes can attach to a base.

The bound base <vegete> denotes “non-animal life” and forms a word family that contains relatives such as vegetable, vegetation, and vegetative.

Word Matrix: Vegete

<vegete>
“non-animal life [lively, active, sprightly, vigorous],” from Old French vegetable “living, fit to live,” directly from Medieval Latin vegetabilis “growing, flourishing,” from Late Latin vegetabilis “animating, enlivening,” from Latin vegetare “to enliven,” from vegetus “vigorous, enlivened, active, sprightly,” from vegere “to be alive, active, to quicken”
