Fusional morphology is a term which is used for a morphological system in which one morpheme, usually an inflectional affix, expresses several different meanings or grammatical functions.
Example
the components '3rd person possessive' and 'plural' are fused together in the English word their, while Turkish uses two morphemes for these components: evleriden 'from their house' (Lit. 'house-PLURAL-POSSESSIVE-ABLATIVE').
