COMPOSITION.

376. In compounds, the fundamental word is usually the second, which has its meaning qualified by the first.

A DIRECT COMPOUND is one formed directly from two parts: as, #con-iug-#, N. #coniūnx#, _yoke-fellow_ (#com-#, _together_, √#iug-#, _yoke_); #con-iungere#, _join together_ (#com-#, #iungere#); an INDIRECT COMPOUND is one formed by the addition of a suffix to a direct compound: as, #iūdic-io-#, N. #iūudicium#, _trial_ (#iūdic-#): #iūdicā-re#, _judge_ (#iūdic-#).

378. A REAL COMPOUND is a word whose stem is formed from two stems, or an inseparable prefix and a stem, fused into one stem; an APPARENT COMPOUND is formed by the juxtaposition of an inflected word with another inflected word, a preposition, or an adverb.
