Apr 5, 2016 at 21:28 comment added Brian Donovan But a prefix is not a root. Polyptoton, originally the use of the same noun in multiple (Greek or Latin) cases in short succession, is in English better exemplified by Matt. 7.1-2 (KJV)--"Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged"--than by OP's Churchill quotation.
