What is the suffix for care?

There isn't a specific suffix for "care" in the way that "-ing" is a suffix for "run" (running).

However, "care" can be part of various words with different suffixes, each conveying a specific meaning:

* -ful: meaning "full of" or "characterized by". Example: careful (showing care).

* -less: meaning "without" or "lacking". Example: careless (lacking care).

* -er: meaning "one who does something". Example: caretaker (one who takes care of something).

* -giver: meaning "one who gives something". Example: caregiver (one who provides care).

* -ing: indicating an action. Example: caring (showing care).

It's important to note that "care" can also be used as a verb on its own, meaning "to be concerned about".

So, while there's no single suffix specifically for "care", it can be combined with various suffixes to create words with different meanings.
