  1. Output-Input

Introduction – Introductioned, Abduction – Abductioned, Reduction – Reductioned

With the resulting words formed for the output-input, my chosen words were all not well-formed. Also, they are all not already-existing words. Nothing seems to work about this process because they are words that already end with the affix “ion” and therefore do not sound right if “ed” is added as an affix. Again, since these affixes do not work together, there is no other example used with these same affixes that will work, especially in situations like finding a category-changing affix for verbs-nouns or noun-verbs. However, these words need to be in its original form or have the right affixes matched up to make an actual or already existing word.
