Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. When you encounter a word you do not know, never forget a good English dictionary:
Main Entry: [1]suf·fix
Pronunciation: 's&-fiks
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin suffixum, from Latin, neuter of suffixus, past participle of suffigere to fasten underneath, from sub- + figere to fasten —more at FIX
Date: 1778
: an affix occurring at the end of a word, base, or phrase — compare PREFIX
- suf·fix·al /'s&-fik-s&l, (")s&-'fik-s&l/ adjective
You can substitute the word "prefix" as a snynoym. Write & rewrite (re- being the suffix here.)
