suffix

a series of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word with a new definition. Some examples of suffixes are;
-ing = doing
-ly = verb
-s/-es = plural
Like a prefix, when a suffix is added to a word, the word put on becomes a base word.
Suffix goes first, then the base word, not vice versa!
