Morphology
qualify = qual + ify
The suffix '-ify' gives a general 'make/become' meaning and the word remains in the semantic area of qualities or suitability, but the bound root 'qual-' is not independently recognizable as an English base word.
Etymology
Qualify comes from Latin qualis 'of what kind' plus the part -fy meaning 'to make', and it is related to quality. So to qualify a person is to give or show the needed 'quality' and make them fit or eligible for a job or role.
