Answer:

The definition of suffix is:

  • one or more syllables added to the end of a root word.

Step-by-step explanation:

The suffix is usually one or more letters (which can also be considered syllables if you take into account the voice beats), which are at the end of a root word and modify to some extent the definition of the total word, some examples are:

FUL

  • Beautiful
  • Wonderful

LESS

  • Harmless
  • Careless

Answer:

one or more syllables added to the end of a root word

Step-by-step explanation:

Suffixes belong to what are known as affixes. An affix refers to a word attachment to a root word, giving it a different meaning. It's type changes depending to it's placement: at the beggining of the root word or at the end of the root word.

- A preffix is a type of affix in which one ore more syllables are added at the beggining of a root word. Example: determined - pre-determined.

- A suffix is a type of affix in which one or more syllables are added at the end of a root word. Example: beauty - beauty-ful
