Suffix



         


In linguistics, a suffix is an affix that succeeds the morphemes to which it can attach.

Example: establish (verb) + -ment (suffix) —> establishment (noun). (See derivation).

A suffix is also a style at the end of a person's name which gives additional identifying information about the person. These may be academic, professional, honorary or social.
