An infix is a type of affix that is inserted within a base word or root, rather than being added to the beginning or end. Infixes are less common in English but are found in various languages, such as Tagalog and Arabic. For example, in Tagalog, the infix "-um-" can be added to the root "sulat", meaning "to write", to form "sumulat", meaning "wrote". Infixation can change the meaning or grammatical function of the word, and it plays an important role in the morphology of languages that utilize this structure.
