back-formation

Etymology

 * from en.

Noun

 * 1)  The process by which a new word is formed from an older word by interpreting the former as a derivative of the latter, often by removing a morpheme (real or perceived) from the older word, such as the verb burgle, formed by removing -ar (perceived as an agent-noun suffix) from burglar.
 * 2)  A word created in this way.
