Is there a type of German dictionary where words with the same “root” are listed together?

Question

Is there a German dictionary that lists words with the same root together, e.g., where abstimmen, mitbestimmen, zustimmen etc. are listed under stimmen?

Answer 1

Canoonet offers quite a nice clickable word formation tree for many word stems including stimmen.

A click on Wordformation will lead to the following tree (only shown in part):

One level above would be for the stem Stimme with even more derivations.

Answer 2

Howard Kellerʹs 1978 "A German Word Family Dictionary" is pretty useful.

Answer 3

Go to https://www.verbformen.com/ and scroll down to the right to "Derivatives." (Not all verbs are provided with a list.)For example, for können:

≡ abkönnen ≡ ankönnen ≡ dafürkönnen ≡ dazukönnen ≡ durchkönnen ≡ fortkönnen ≡ heimkönnen ≡ herankönnen ≡ herkönnen ≡ hinkönnen ≡ hochkönnen ≡ loskönnen ≡ mitkönnen ≡ nachkönnen ≡ rankönnen ≡ rauskönnen ≡ reinkönnen ≡ umhinkönnen ≡ wegkönnen Also check Reverso Conjugation at https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-german.html. Under "Models" you will find lists of verbs which conjugate the same. Most have the same stems. Then go to In general, the prefix be- makes the verb transitive, intensifies the meaning and shifts focus to the direct object. Often the verb with be- can acquire a completely new meaning over time. If you can face the discouragement, go to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_deutscher_Pr%C3%A4fixe#Pr%C3%A4fixe_mit_Verben. But be prepared to cry.

Answer 4

The Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache offers the word list you are looking for.
