bound form
A bound form is a term related to linguistics, referring to a morpheme or word part that cannot stand alone, but must be attached to another element to have meaning. It is typically a prefix, suffix, or infix that changes or contributes to the meaning of the word. For example, in the word "disagree,” "dis-" is a bound form as it cannot stand alone and its combination with "agree" changes the meaning.
