34
Q

-ize (-ise)

A

Suffix which creates a verb, as in “to (do something)”

Some possible renderings, depending on context, include “to make X”, “to become X”, “to cause X to occur”, “to subject X to”, or “to engage in X”

35
Q
  • ic
  • tic
  • al
  • ical
  • ac
  • ar
  • ary
  • eal
  • ine
  • ile
  • ous
A

Suffixes which create an adjective.

Most usually the meaning can be conveyed by the phrases “pertaining to” or “located in,” but it will depend upon context; in many instances neither of these phrases can be used. This situation is particularly true when the adjective is modifying a noun in a phrase. Other possibilities to consider, based on the context, include “characterized by” or even just “of”.

36
Q
  • ia

- y

A

Suffixes which create a noun: a state of being, a process or act, a syndrome, a symptom, etc.

Very often the suffix does not need a specific translation; if context requires, however, it could be rendered as either “condition” or “condition characterized by,” but the translation will depend upon the context.

No single definition is possible, and so you must use
context to decide on what kind of noun is being created

37
Q

gnath-

A

jaw

38
Q

-ous

A

containing

39
Q

inguin-

A

groin

40
Q
  • osis
  • ism
  • iasis
A

These suffixes form a noun and indicate a state of being, one which is usually (but not necessarily) negative or abnormal in character.

Most usually, use or expect to see either of these in definitions given:

a. disorder (of an organ, structure, function, characteristic); or
b. condition characterised by/caused by (a substance)

Frequently, however, these phrases will not be appropriate to the context (the word “condition” may be an appropriate rendering in some contexts).

Note also that -osis is the most commonly used of these three suffixes; you must use -osis when creating a term using these meanings, unless directed otherwise.
