• Suffix means to fasten on, beneath, or under.
• A suffix may be a syllable or group of syllables united with or placed at the end of a word to alter or modify the meaning of the word or to create a new word.

• A compound suffix is made up of more than one word component. It is also added to a root or a combining form to modify its meaning.
• Whenever you change the suffix, you alter the meaning of the word to which it is attached.

• The following rules pertain to suffixes:
– If the suffix begins with a vowel, drop the combining vowel from the combining form and add the suffix.
– If the suffix begins with a consonant, keep the combining vowel and add the suffix to the combining form.
– Keep the combining vowel between two or more roots in a term.
– When giving the meaning of the word or reading its definition, you usually begin with the meaning of the suffix.
