Usually when we spell a word, we only acknowledge the surface structure by naming out the letters: "<d-o-e-s> spells does. However, words often have deeper structures that can help us make sense of the way they're spelled, and that can highlight their connections to other words. This can be done in the studies of the words structure or called as Morphology. In Morphology, there are three main parts. There are: prefix, root/base, and suffix. When a word is affixed, they will build a new word and can make a new meaning. You can learn more about them in this videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPtgQW3ryyk

The English language is rich in homophone and homograph. Homophone, word that sound the same, but have different meanings and different spellings. Words like heel and heal or pain and pane are homophones. The spelling <heal> serves a few purposes: the <ea> can change sounds so that the same spelling works in suffixed words like health and healthy. The <ea> also connects heal to the less common word hale, as in the saying hale and hearty. The words heal, health, and healthy all share a base element, <heal>. Homograph, word that shares the same written form but has different meaning. For example the word bat, it has two meanings: bat as an animals and bat as an sport property. Both of them has the same spellings.
