metanalysis

1. The act of breaking down a word or phrase into segments or meanings not original to it; breaking down the boundaries between words or other units.

2. A reanalysis of the division between sounds or words resulting in different constituents (as in the development of from ).

3. The process by which the division between words or parts of words is changed, resulting in the creation of a new word (as in the development of an apron from a napron).
