    • In linguistics and etymology, suppletion is traditionally understood as the use of one word as the inflected form of another word when the two words are not cognate. For those learning a language, suppletive forms will be seen as "irregular" or even "highly irregular". The term "suppletion" implies that a gap in the paradigm was filled by a form "supplied" by a different paradigm. Instances of suppletion are overwhelmingly restricted to the most commonly used lexical items in a language.

    • Suppletion is a morphological pattern (usually inflectional) in which one inflection has a stem which is different from the default one. For example, in English the default stem of GO is {go}, but this is replaced in GO:past by {wen} (to which the past-tense suffix {t} is added).
