Derivational suffixes

With derivational suffixes, the new word has a new meaning, and is usually a different part of speech. But the new meaning is related to the old meaning - it is "derived" from the old meaning.

We can add more than one suffix, as in this example:

derive (verb) + tion = derivation (noun) + al = derivational (adjective)

There are several hundred derivational suffixes. Here are some of the more common ones:

پیشوند و پسوند prefix and suffix

What can you do when you run into a word that you don’t know? One thing that may help is to analyze the word, looking for groups of letters that have special meanings. A group of letters with a special meaning appearing at the end of a word is called a suffix. Here is a list of 16 important suffixes.

Suffix	Meaning	Example

-ible		defensible
-al	relating to	regal
-ance		resistance
-ence		independence

-hood		brotherhood
-ity		legality
-ment		puzzlement
-er	one who	writer
-or		advisor
-ite		Mennonite
-y	full of	soapy

When a group of letters having a special meaning appears at the beginning of a word, we call that group of letters a prefix. Following is a list of 10 prefixes all dealing with counting. Additional prefixes can be found on the handout Vocabulary Builder.
