'gruntle' is a bound root morpheme. It's the root of a word, but can't exist alone without prefixes/suffixes (it's bound). It's a morpheme (can't be broken down further meaning wise, it's the smallest unit of meaning). 'Disgruntled' has 3 morphemes. 'dis-' 'gruntle' and '-ed'
Look up 'list of bound root morphemes.' That's how you'd find a comprehensive list of that particular type of word (which is part of what you were after).
edit:Unpaired word seems to be the term for words without it's opposite.
edit 2: lexic isnt the root of dyslexic, lexia would be I'm fairly sure.
