What is the word formation of speak?

The word "speak" is a simple word meaning "to utter words" and is not formed from other words. It is considered a root word, meaning it's a basic word that cannot be broken down further.

However, there are related words that share the same root, such as:

* Speaker: One who speaks.

* Speech: The act of speaking.

* Spoke: The past tense of speak.

* Speaking: The present participle of speak.

* Spoken: The past participle of speak.

While these words are related to "speak," they are formed using affixes (prefixes and suffixes) or by changing the form of the root word.
