funktions

Funktions is a bound morpheme in German, formed from Funktion (function). It does not denote a standalone concept by itself, but serves as a stem in many compound nouns related to how something operates or to the notion of a function in mathematics, logic, and engineering.

Common uses include Funktionsweise (the way a device operates), Funktionsprinzip (principle of operation), Funktionsfähigkeit (functional capability),
