Answer:
Affixes are classified into prefixes and suffixes. Compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning. For example, “sun” and “flower” are two different words, but when fused together, they form another word, Sunflower or “make up” and “makeup”.

Answer:
Affixation and compounding are two common methods of word creation. Their process is given below
Explanation:
Affixiation:
- Affixation is the process of creating words from various bases by adding derivational affixes. Affixes include not-roots and bound morphemes that alter the stem's meaning and/or syntactic category in some way. Prefixes and suffixes are the two types of affixes.
- Example:
Prefix
- (against or in opposition to).. (lack of, apart, reversal, or not)
Suffixes
- -able (capable of, given to, or susceptible of) portable
- unintelligible (able to be, pertaining to)
Compound words:
- When two or more words are combined to make a single new term with a completely different meaning, the result is a compound word.
- For instance, "sun" and "flower" are two distinct words, yet they combine to become sunflowers, just as "make up" and "makeup" do.
