Is inchworm an affix?

[] Answer []

No, inchworm is not an affix

[] Reasoning / Evidence []

An affix is a word or part that is added onto another word. Once that second part is added onto the original word, the original words meaning has changed. Here are two types of affixes: Prefix, suffix.

A pre fix, as you can guess by the word pre, goes before the main word. For example, for the word impossible, the word "im is the prefix. The original word is possible. Once you add the prefix im, the word possible changes to impossible. The meaning of the original word has now changed.

A suffix is a word that is added to the end of an original word. The word "ed" is a suffix. Once you add "ed" to a word like "passed", the word pass has been changed and given a new meaning.

Those are examples of affixes. The word inchworm is not an affix.
