formation process in online shops, namely derivation, compounding, clipping, and acronym.
The derivation is the process of forming words by giving affixes to the word, so results in new
word formation causes a change in word-class and its meaning. The examples of suffix are -er,
-or, -al, -ment, -ed, –ing in the words “Seller, Buyer, Supplier, Retailer, Counter, Hanger,
Customer, Testimonial, Endorsement, Payment, Booked, Trusted, Shipping, Booking,
Packaging”. The examples of the prefix is re- in the words “Return, Refund, Restock,
Refurbish”. Compounding is the process of forming words by combining two or more classes
of words into a new form such as in the words “Handmade, Dropship, Download, Upload,
Cashback, Online, Offline, Stockroom, Showroom, Giveaway, Fullset, Checkout”. Clipping is the
process of forming words by cutting parts of the word itself or forming words from words that
have more than one syllable that gets the word cutting process at the beginning or end such as
in the words “Advertisement (Ad), Original (Ori), Brother (Bro), Sister (Sist)”. The acronym is
the process of formation by taking from the initial letter in each syllable arranged to mention
the abbreviation or extension of a term, so the result can be pronounced as a word. For
example in the words “COD (Cash on Delivery), PO (Pre Order), DP (Down Payment), FP (Full
Payment), PL (Price List), (PM) Private Message, IDR (Indonesian Rupiahs), WTB (Want to
