Remove a word's affixes and the resulting form is its root. (HINT: "kind" does not have any affixes.)I don't understand your question. Could you express it in other words, please?
I realise that, thanks. That is why I didn't understand Oliman's question. I wondered if he intended to ask something different.Remove a word's affixes and the resulting form is its root. (HINT: "kind" does not have any affixes.)
Oops. I meant to reply to the OP's post, but hit yours instead. Sorry.I realise that, thanks. That is why I didn't understand Oliman's question. I wondered if he intended to ask something different.
Or, perhaps, the OP means 'kindly', but was reluctant to type it in, having read the thread on its modern day usage and meaning. :lol:Perhaps he was asking about the etymological root. I can't think why though;-)

You can ask me any question, any time, any day. :multi:Laura love,... .
Man, you guys and girls replied faster than I expected! Sorry, I clearly didn't make myself clear.
Oh yes Bob sir, I now believe I was refering to the etymological root, i've discovered it's 'kin':
to be kind to someone essentially means that you treat them like you would your relative.
