Derivational Morphomes in English
In English you can have derivational morphemes yet repurposed, even archaic ones being revived or whatever. Utopia is not eutopia, it's utopia, it means no place. It doesn't mean good place, but because the pronunciation sounds the same, we decided that the negative of that was dystopia. So one of my favorite examples for a borrowed word is we have utopia, which is supposed to be this wonderful, beautiful place - except that's a pun.
