Surface Forms
Morphology
pectin = pect + in
Formed from a non-standalone combining form 'pect-' plus the chemical suffix '-in', so learners cannot derive the meaning from familiar English base words.
Etymology
The word pectin comes from the Greek word pektos, which means 'set' or 'curdled', like a liquid that becomes thick. So pectin is the natural part of fruit that helps jams and jellies 'set' and become firm.
