 FIO:
 
 "saphalaM" is the right word. We have to understand it as "sa+phalaM". 
 Here, "sa" means "having" (kaligiyunna - in telugu).  "saphalam" means 
 success. When someones actions give good results we say "sa+plahaM" 
 (phalam=fruit).
"---------"

I agree, but I am curious whether can we apply this to all the words like :
sahaayam (Help), sahajam (natural) etc. 
Are the words in any language derived by adding bits like any other object
in the universe with atom (even smaller) 
as a building block?


Thanks
