the base part of a word

Explanation

An affix is a word part attached to a base word to change its meaning or how it functions. It can be added at the beginning, like “un-” in “unhappy,” or at the end, like “-ness” in “kindness.” So the correct choice is a word part added to the beginning or end of a word.
