The lexical families they are sets of words that are united by the same root that makes the match syntactic and semantic at the same time. For example: skillfully, skillfully, enabling, enabling, skillfully.
All words of the same lexical family will have a coincidence in the sense, but they will also appeal to the same spelling rules for their writing.
Indeed, what is usually involved is adding prefixes, suffixes or interfixes to the root of the word to that root, generally derived from a language other than the one actually being spoken: in Spanish, it is common for the roots are Latin phrases.
Two words from the same lexical family will not be from the same semantic field (because they do not coincide in their structure) nor will they necessarily be of the same syntactic type (since they may appear in different places, even in different categories).
