ELEMENTS OF FOLK PSYCHOLOGY by Wilhelm Wundt

 
10

This image of a root originated among grammarians at a: time when the view was current tha,t, just as the stem and branches of a plant grow out of its root, so also in the development of a language does a word always arise out of a group of either simple or composite sounds that embody; the main idea. But the component parts of a language are certainly not roots in this sense; every simple monosyllabic word combines with others, and from this combination there result, in part, modifications in meaning, and, in part, sentences. Language, thus, does not develop by sprouting and growing, but by, agglomeration and agglutination. p.99
