Answer the following questions. Your answers should be clear and short.Both back-formation and back-clipping are ways of making words by removing the endings of words. Can you explain the difference? Illustrate your point with examples.

BACK-FORMATION IS THE METHOD OF CREATING WORDS BY REMOVING THE SUPPOSED SUFFIXES, WHILE BACK-CLIPPING IS A WAY TO SHORTEN A LONGER WORD BY CUTTING THE BACK PART OFF THE ORIGINAL AND USING WHAT REMAINS INSTEAD. PEOPLE MAKE VERBS BY DROPPING THE ENDINGS SUCH AS -ER AND -OR. WORDS CREATED THROUGH BACK-FORMATION ARE MOSTLY VERBS, FOR INSTANCE, DONATE (V.) FROM DONATION (N.), BEG (V.) FROM BEGGAR (N.), BABYSIT (V.) FROM BABYSITTER (N.) ETC. BACK-CLIPPED WORDS ARE JUST SHORTENED ONES, FOR EXAMPLE, DORM FOR DORMITORY, GENT FOR GENTLEMAN, BIKE FOR BICYCLE,MATHS FOR MATHEMATICS ETC.
