Root words can form word families by adding suffixes like -al, -ize, and -ly for nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Suffixes added to root words often indicate a word's part of speech and meaning, such as -ness for nouns, -able for adjectives, and -ly for adverbs. Mastering suffixes can help one understand how words are related and derive meaning.
