Same family: proposes, proposing, proposal, proposition, proposedly. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Proposed” comes from the Latin verb *proponere*, meaning “to put forward” or “to present.” Over time, English kept that same idea of putting an idea forward for others to consider.

Patterns it uses: Drop the e before a suffix?
