Morpheme Lexicon, a bilingual map of English word families
A free Chinese-English reference tool for breaking English words into prefixes, roots, and suffixes, then exploring related word families and etymological trees.
Field notes
The reference organizes words as linked families rather than isolated dictionary entries: selecting a root can expose its derivatives, a hierarchy, and an etymological line. The homepage reports 67,529 analyzed words, 15,412 roots, and 3,100 affixes, with labels for Chinese exam categories through GRE. It also describes printable family tables and exercises for teachers, plus search by Chinese meaning, making the resource useful beyond conventional English-word lookup.
