Synopsis

This book explores the history and usage of the suffixes -ery (-ry), -age, and -ment in the English language. These suffixes, adopted from French, have been widely used in English word formation, particularly in the creation of abstract nouns and collective nouns. The author examines the origins of these suffixes, their meanings, and the ways in which they have been used from the Middle Ages to the present day. The book provides a thorough analysis of the semantic and syntactic properties of these suffixes, and sheds light on their role in the development of the English vocabulary.
