    In linguistics, suppletion is traditionally understood as the use of one word as the inflected from another word.
    For example:
    go= went
    bad= wrost

    In morphology , suppletion is the use of two or
    more phonetically distinct roots for different
    forms of the same word , such as the adjective
    bad and its suppletive comparative form
    worse .
