Has anyone out there got the book which gives you the meaning of some of the more common prefixes and suffixes?
I've remembered most of the prefixes I need but cannot for the life of me remember the suffixes' meanings.

There's quite a bit out there on google. Here're a few. I quite liked the synonym's joke:


prefixes & suffixes

Irish prefixes & suffixes:-)

I have had a look at your morphograph, and I am sorry to tell you that you are in need of a very expensive operation.
I do, however, have an easy-pay-plan.
NEXT!
