1.3
Derived words without definition
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Some words do not need a definiton, because they
are derived from a headword by adding a suffix. For
example
gracefully and
gracefulness are derived
from
graceful, and their
meaning is simply that of
the main word plus the meaning of the suffix.
These words are shown at the end of the entry for
the word that they are derived from.

attractive way, or having an attractive shape:
a slim
graceful figure 2 behaving in a polite and pleasant
way:

gracefully adv:
When I am no
longer needed, I shall retire gracefully. –
gracefulness
n [U]
In
this case,
gracefully just means 'in a graceful
way,' and
gracefulness just means '
the quality of
being graceful.'
