cortamiento?
Hi, I am trying to remember the linguistic morphological term that has to do with cutting off part of a word. A good example is cutting off part of "television" to form "tele". What is that process called again? Thanks!

truncamiento or truncation?
Could this be the term? It essentially means what you are describing, though I don't know if it's used in linguistics as well.

Morphology
What about "suffixation" and "prefixation"?

How about "apocope"?
This means to loose letters, o part of the word at the end.
