The idea
A morpheme is the smallest unit of language that carries meaning.
In practice
The word "rebuilt" contains three morphemes, none of which can be divided further and keep meaning.
Where people slip
A morpheme is not a syllable. Some morphemes are single letters and some syllables carry no meaning.
