New page

A '''suffix''' is an [[affix]] which follows its [[base]].

===Comments===
:::*''“The term “affix”, which was used in §§24 and 28, is grammatical: it subsumes bound forms of certain kinds. But the apparently parallel terms “prefix”, "suffix”, “infix” are not grammatical; they refer, rather to positional classes of the morphs which represent bound forms.”'' (Hockett 1958:286)

=== Synonyms ===
*[[infix]] (in African linguistics)
* [[ending]] (used especially for inflectional suffxes)
* [[desinence]] (used especially for inflectional suffxes)

===Origin===
The OED's first attestation is from 1778. The term is derived from Latin ''suffīgere'' ‘attach’.
