In Bengali an upasarga- a special kind of prefx- is a vibrant element which is determined as bound morpheme in a morphological consideration. If words are analyzed structurally, the result is outnumbered words, which are mainly constructed by such a prefix. More specifically, most of the terms in Bengali are created with the help of these prefixes. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to provide a structural interpretation of such bound morphemes enriching the words in Bengali.
