I have been trying to find more morphological/lexicological
information than what you get from a dictionary and I would like for
this information to be encoded in such a way, that, say, in English,
you can see that "nation" and "native" or "busy" and "business" are
indeed related and how so.
~
I am also interested in the general morphological pattern among
words; inflectional or derivational ones. Say "busy" and "easy" are
since there is also "easiness" . . .
~
If you look up "business" on thefreedictionary.com you will see as
the last description of the word:
.. . .
11. Obsolete The condition of being busy.

nation:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nation
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nation
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=nation
~
native:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/native
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/native
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=native
~
busy:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/busy
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/busy
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=busy
~
business:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/business
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/business
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=business

From where can you get such info, preferably as a wordlist? or, how
would you go about producing one? (from where would you get the raw
data?)
~
Thanks
