Short "hint"

adj. - Characterized by inflections indicating a semantic relation between a word and its base.

edit
Usage examples (38)
  • The morphological relation between `sing' and `singer' and `song' is derivational
  • 'Unpacked' has a much closer (for me) affinity with 'unpack' (derivational) than with 'packed' (inflectional).
  • Pre - fixes, derivational suffixes, and inflexional affixes were accurately described and their function defined.
  • The application of a filler vowel -a- between the derivational suffix -χ and the noun stem is also within reason.
