Latin roots are the core meaning-bearing elements of a word, often derived from Latin. For example:
* "scrib-" means "write" (e.g., "scribe," "inscription")
* "port-" means "carry" (e.g., "transport," "portable")
Latin suffixes are added to the end of words or roots to change their grammatical function or meaning. For example:
* "-tion" forms nouns, often denoting an action or process (e.g., "creation," "education")
* "-able" forms adjectives, meaning "capable of" or "suitable for" (e.g., "breakable," "readable")
Therefore, the concept of a "Latin root suffix" is not a standard term in linguistics.
Instead, we talk about Latin roots and Latin suffixes, which work together to create many English words.
