3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ut-: Prefix. Origin: Old Norse. Function: Indicates 'out' or 'away', often implying a process or result.
• dannelse: Root. Origin: Old Norse dan (to form, shape) + -else (suffix denoting a process or result). Function: Noun, meaning "formation," "education," or "development."
