Template:confix/documentation

For use in the Etymology sections of words which consist of only a prefix and a suffix, or which were formed by simultaneous application of a prefix and a suffix to some other element(s).

This template essentially combines the functions of {{prefix}} and {{suffix}}. The first element is treated as a prefix, whereas the last element is treated as a suffix; an entry in which this template is transcluded will be added automatically to those affixes’ derivation categories.

Examples

For example, the derivation of (deprecated template usage) neurogenic can be written:

{{confix|neuro|genic|lang=en}}

Which generates:

In contrast, {{compound}} adds the entry in which it is used to categories of the form "[Language name] compounds". It is intended for true compounds where neither the first nor the second term are affixes.

{{confix|be|tegel|en|lang=nl}}
