94. And even the preponderance of the foreign over the native element in (a) will be considerably modified, when we reflect that it includes not only roots, but a large number of derivatives formed on them by means of Saxon afif- and suffixes : mis, un, ly, ness, less, ful, shif, etc. Thus from the Latin use, we get useful, usefully, useless, uselessness ; so un- fortunate, duti-ful, brief less,
...falsehood, words which might, with equal propriety, be classed with the native element The converse of this, i.e. the formation of derivatives on Saxon roots by means of Latin adjuncts, a, ab, pro, ex, al, tion, etc., does not hold as a rule. Starv-ation is a curious Preponderance of the Saxon Element. 153 instance, coined in 1775 by Mr. Dundas, the first Viscount Melville, thence nick-named ' Starvation Dundas.' We say X&w-ful, but leg-«/, un-'SzyN-ful and i/-\eg-a/, law-fulness and leg-al-ity.
