Title: Unpacking Linguistic Evolution: How the Term "Equality" Morphed into "Inequality"

The underlined word "inequalities" is formed from the root word "equal." Several changes occur to form this word: 1. **Prefix Addition**: The prefix “in-” is added to the beginning of “equal.” This prefix generally means “not” or “without,” forming “inequal,” which however is not commonly used as such in modern English, though it indicates not being equal. 2. **Suffix Addition**: The suffix “-ity” is added to “equal” to form the noun “equality,” which refers to the state of being equal. 3. **Pluralization**: Finally, an “-ies” ending is added to “equality” to make “inequalities,” transforming it into a plural noun that refers to multiple instances or forms of inequality. Thus, the word "inequalities" results from adding the prefix "in-" to negate "equal," then changing the base word to a noun with "-ity," and finally making it plural with "-ies."
