[Middle English sedule, slip of parchment or paper, note, from Old French cedule, from Late Latin schedula, diminutive of scheda, variant of Latin scida, papyrus strip, from Greek skhida, skhedÄ; perhaps akin to skhizein, to split; see schizo-.] schedâ²uÂ·lar adj.
Grammatical inflection (sometimes known as accidence or flection in more traditional grammars) is the way in which a word is changed or altered in form in order to achieve a new, specific meaning.
English is a analytic language. There is only very little inflection and word order is very important for understanding the meaning. All languages, however, tend to move slowly from synthetic, to analytic. English started as a synthetic language with a lot of inflection.
