A question that I can't find...

Somebody asked what a root system is.

A root system is a simplified vocabulary from which many or most other
words are derived. Very rarely, all words are derived from the root
system; however, most languages have some randomness and some loanwords.

The moral of the story: to better make a language, first make another
language.
