SUFFIX
This article discusses suffixes in linguistics. For other uses, see Suffix (disambiguation)
In grammar, a suffix — a form of affix — follows the morpheme to which it attaches. It may have a morphemic or a grammatical (inflectional) function.
In the English language, suffixes appear as additions at the end of a word (or at the end of part of a word).
For an example from colloquial (British) English take the word "soonish", where the suffix "ish" modifies the root-word "soon", changing its meaning to "soon, but not all that soon".
- See List of English suffixes for suffixes used in English. These frequently have Greek or Latin origins.
