What is stemming?
XTM Cloud supports stemming for terminology wherein , in which multiple forms of the same word are recognized. In other words, this is the process of involves reducing inflected (or sometimes derived) forms of a given particular term to their stem, base or root - , which is generally a written word form. The current stemming implementation in XTM Cloud is based on Hunspell 's dictionaries (http://hunspell.github.ioHunspell: About).

A separate noteworthy Another case worth noting concerns hyphenated compound words which are hyphenated, for example, . For example: color-coded. Let’s consider Consider the following example:
We have got There is an English (USA) term color which we want to translate into an English (UK) variant: colour. For this purpose, we created create a relevant entry in the XTM UI terminology Cloud Terminology module:
Term: color English (USA);
Translation: colour English (UK).
When a project with the term color-coded is created, and the option Highlight all term variants option (stemming)is disabled, the word color will not be highlighted in blue (signifying an available translation) since XTM treats hyphenated compounds as one “word”, so in this case it would be a whole single different word.
When a project with the term color-coded is created, and the option Highlight all term variants option (stemming) is enabled, the word color will be highlighted in blue(signifying an available translation) since XTM will properly correctly recognize a common stemmed form for both words, which is color.
Please, see See a couple of exemplary example sentences in XTM Workbench containing the word color in various combinations when stemming is enabled.
