The basic word part that comes from another language is affix.
To determine the answer to this question, we need to understand the meaning of the given word parts and identify which one originates from another language.
1. Root: A root is a basic word part that carries the primary meaning of a word, and it can be derived from different languages. However, in this question, we are specifically looking for a word part that comes from another language. Therefore, while a root can be derived from another language, it is not necessarily a basic word part that inherently comes from another language.
2. Suffix: A suffix is a word part that is added at the end of a word to change its meaning or form. Suffixes can be derived from different languages, including Latin, Greek, and French. However, suffixes are not typically described as basic word parts that come from another language.
3. Prefix: A prefix is a word part that is added at the beginning of a word to change its meaning or form. Similarly to suffixes, prefixes can be derived from various languages, but unlike roots, they are typically considered basic word parts that come from another language. Prefixes, such as "pre-" (from Latin) or "un-" (from Old English), are good examples of word parts borrowed from other languages.
4. Affix: The term "affix" is a general term used to refer to both prefixes and suffixes collectively. It is not specifically a basic word part that comes from another language.
Based on the explanations above, the correct answer to the question is the prefix. The prefix is a basic word part that often comes from another language.
