affix_form: -carrel-

example_words_list_1: carrel, carrel tile, carreling

categorical_group_list: Architecture, Construction, Tile

etymology: From Latin 'caries' (rottenness, decay) or 'carruca' (cart), but primarily from Old French 'carrel' (tile), derived from Late Latin 'carrucula' (little cart/vehicle, referring to the shape or transport of tiles) or directly from Latin 'carrus'. More accurately, 'carrel' as in 'carrel tile' comes from Old French 'carrel', from Late Latin 'carrucula', diminutive of 'carrus' (cart/wagon), referring to the shape or the way tiles were transported. However, the most direct etymon for the word 'carrel' (as in a small study cubicle or a tile) is Old French 'carrel'. For the morpheme 'carrel' meaning 'tile/roof', the root is likely from Latin 'carrus' via Old French. Let's stick to the most common linguistic consensus for the word 'carrel' (tile): Old French 'carrel', from Late Latin 'carrucula'.

morpheme: carter

morpheme_head: carter

affix_form: -carter-

meaning_definition: one who acts or does | agent

example_words_list_1: cart, cartage, cartway

example_words_corpus: Cartersville

categorical_group_list: Agent, Profession, Transport

etymology: From Latin 'carter' (variant of 'cator' or related to 'carrus' via folk etymology, but more likely a back-formation or variant of agentive suffixes like -ator/-er from Latin 'carrus' or simply an agentive noun suffix in English derived from verbs like 'cart' or 'carter' as a profession). However, given the form '-carter-' as a root/affix in a TCG context, it is highly likely a bound morpheme representing 'one who carts' or 'driver'. Let's look closer. 'Carter' is a free morpheme in English (a person who transports goods). The record says 'affix_form: -carter-' and 'affix_type: root' and 'bound_free_or_root: free'. This is contradictory if it's an affix. But the prompt asks to fill missing fields. If 'carter' is the morpheme, and it's 'free', it's a word. But the field 'affix_form' suggests it's treated as a morpheme in the game. Let's assume the game uses 'carter' as a root meaning 'driver' or 'transporter'. Etymologically, 'carter' comes from Middle English 'cartere', from 'cart'. Source language: Old French 'carte' or Latin 'carrus'. Let's go with Latin 'carrus' as the ultimate ancestor for the word 'cart'.
