English

Borrowed from Latin suffixum (“suffix”), from sub (“under, beneath”) + fixus, perfect passive participle of figere (“to fasten, fix”).

suffix (plural suffixes)

(grammar, linguistic morphology) A morpheme added at the end of a word to modify the word's meaning.
The suffix "-able" changes "sing" into "singable".
(mathematics) A subscript.

The plural suffices occasionally appears (including in one educational publication), but it is not a standard plural.
