**Suffix**

A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning or grammatical function. In language, suffixes can transform words into different parts of speech, indicate tense, form plurals, or modify the word’s intensity. Common examples include “-ness,” “-ly,” “-ed,” and “-ing.” Understanding suffixes is essential for enhancing vocabulary, improving spelling, and mastering word formation in English and other languages.
