So as if I had nothing better to do, here are the words (actually free morphemes) that appear in multiple card/event/landmark names. Any errors are my own.

5:

4:
House
Hunt
Treasure

Man

2:

Count gets a "not really", but not "hag"? *Edit* lol, I was thinking of Sea Hag and Haggler, not Swamp Hag. I guess you don't count Haggler.
What's the other Fortune card?

If "Counterfeit" is polymorphemic, it's counter-feit, certainly not count-erfeit.

Nerd.
We love nerds here.

If you can do Duke and Duchess, surely you can do Fort and Fortress.

Yeah... maybe? I guess a better analogy is if island contains land, fortress contains fort. (I.e., even though it isn't clear what exactly the rest of the word is supposed to be.)
Yeah, okay, I'll add it.

Mountebank/Bank
Quick googling tells me they both derive from "bench/table"
-
I believe that "Fortress" is a corruption of Latin "Fortis", meaning 'strong' and thus, 'strong place/stronghold'. "Fort" is a shortened form of "fortification," from Latin "fortificere=fortis+facere "to make". So they have the same Latin root, even though they aren't actually derived from each other.

Yes, but I don't think there's a synchronic relationship.

I personally would just go with actual spellings of names that exist within other names; so Hag would be in Haggler, etc.

Sure, but he specified morphemes and not lexemes. Jeez, man.

Of course, with my method, the inclusion of "Hag" is pretty arbitrary, if we aren't going to also include words like "A". I guess I was thinking more of card names that are contained within other card names... in which case Hag and Sir isn't anywhere, but Market and Village are.

And more importantly, not, just... strings of letters. The list for lexemes would be a lot shorter.
