What does lemma mean?
A word or expression to which a set of words or phrases can be reduced, often by a process of inflection or derivation. In linguistics, a lemma is the base form of a word, from which all other forms are derived.
Example
"The lemma of the verb 'run' is 'run', but the lemma of the verb 'running' is also 'run'."
