Morphology
locate = loc + ate
Formed from the Latin combining form 'loc-' (place) plus the verb-forming suffix '-ate'; the root 'loc' is not a standalone English word, so the relation is only partially obvious to learners (more transparent if they know 'location'/'local').
Etymology
The word locate comes from the Latin root locus meaning 'place', and it shares the same root as local and location. So to locate something is to put it in a particular place.
