What is the Suffix for reverse?

There isn't a specific suffix that means "reverse".

However, there are several ways to indicate reversal in English, including:

* Prefixes:

* "re-" (e.g., rewind, rewrite, reconsider)

* "un-" (e.g., undo, untie, unlock)

* "de-" (e.g., defrost, deconstruct, devalue)

* Suffixes:

* "-ward" (e.g., backward, homeward)

* "-wise" (e.g., clockwise, otherwise)

* "-ing" used in a reversed direction (e.g., "going up" vs. "going down")

* Other words:

* "counter-" (e.g., counter-clockwise, counter-productive)

* "opposite" (e.g., opposite direction)

The best way to express "reverse" depends on the specific context.
