Overview of Suffixes
• Suffix means to fasten on, beneath, or
under.
• A suffix can 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 suffix is connected to a root or to a
combining form to make new words.

Overview of Suffixes
• A compound suffix is made up of more
than one word component. It too is 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.

Overview of Suffixes
• The following guidelines 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.

Grammatical Suffixes
• Those suffixes that can be attached to a
word root to form a part of speech,
especially a noun or adjective, or to make
a medical word singular or plural in form.
• Suffixes are also used to indicate a
diminutive form of a word that specifies a
smaller version of the object indicated by
the word root.
