Stemming is not a concept applicable to all languages. It is not, for example, applicable in Chinese. But to languages of the Indo-European group (and most of the stemmers on Snowball site are for Indo-European languages), a common pattern of word structure does emerge. Assuming words are written left to right, the stem, or root of a word is on the left, and zero or more suffixes may be added on the right. If the root is modified by this process it will normally be at its right hand end. And also prefixes may be added on the left.
