In Latin, you can also break down "able" into 2 morphemes.,(reply>), Weird how French had it. I speak French daily ever since kindergarten, and I hadn't noticed how "aujourd’hui" looks like it means "On the day of today", if you want to make it even lengthier you could say "Au jour d'aujourd'hui". I assume when vulgar Latin was slowly transitioning to French, the people started to say "on the day of today" so much that just saying "today" started to sound wrong. Because "hui" is cognates with the Spanish "hoy".,(reply>), like how french aujourd'hui (meaning "today") can be à + le + jour + de + hui (hodie, itself a compound of two morphemes) to literally be derived from "on the day of on this day",(reply>), +Lucas Forsberg They are not both full-blown words, but definitely morphemes. "Habeo" is the verb "to have", while "-ilis" is itself quite similar to the English "-able" suffix in meaning.,(reply>), @NetRolller3D And those two words on their own?,(reply>), +Lucas Forsberg "Able" comes from Latin "habilis", which is "hab(eo)" + "-ilis".
