A form of a word used for combining with other words or other combining forms to make new words. a combining form may conjoin with an independent word (e.g., mini- + skirt), another combining form (e.g., photo- + -graphy) or an affix (e.g., cephal + -ic); it is thus distinguished from an affix, which can be added to either a free word or a combining form but not solely to another affix (e.g., iceland + -ic but not pro- + -ic). it can also be distinguished historically from an affix when it is borrowed from another language in which it is descriptively a word (e.g., the french mal gave the english mal- in malodorous) or a combining form (e.g., the greek kako-, a combining form of kakos, gave the english caco- in cacography).

A linguistic form that occurs only in compounds or derivatives and can be distinguished descriptively from an affix by its ability to occur as one immediate constituent of a form whose only other immediate constituent is an affix (as in ) or by its being derived from an independent word (as - representing in or representing in ) or can be distinguished historically from an affix by the fact that it is borrowed from another language in which it is descriptively a word or a combining form (as French giving English in ).
