When is added to a word this means?

"Added to a word" is a bit vague. It could mean a few different things, depending on the context. To help me understand what you mean, could you please provide more information? For example:

* What kind of word are you talking about? Is it a noun, verb, adjective, etc.?

* What is being added to the word? Is it a letter, a syllable, a prefix, a suffix, etc.?

* What is the purpose of adding something to the word? Is it to change the meaning, the pronunciation, or something else?

Once I have more context, I can give you a more specific and helpful answer.
