What does suffixation mean?
The process of adding a suffix to a word, often to form a new word or to indicate a grammatical function. In linguistics, suffixation is one of the main ways in which words are formed and modified.
Example
"The addition of the suffix -able to the word happy resulted in the formation of the adjective happyable, which is not commonly used in English."
