What are the derivatives of root word locus?

The root word "locus" is Latin, meaning "place" or "location". While it doesn't have direct derivatives in English in the same way many Latin roots do, it features in several compound words that are commonly used in various fields:

* Locus classicus: This term refers to the original source of a quotation or an idea, often used in literary and academic contexts.

* Locus of control: In psychology, this refers to the extent to which individuals believe they have control over their lives and outcomes.

* Locus of infection: In medicine, this refers to the site where an infection begins.

* Locus of interest: This term is used in legal contexts to indicate the geographic area where a particular legal issue or jurisdiction applies.

* Locus standi: A legal term referring to the right of a party to bring a case to court.

While these words don't directly stem from "locus" in the way a suffix or prefix would, they all share the core meaning of "place" or "location" and build upon it to convey different concepts.
