This is the first post in the third “chapter” of the Vocab-ability series. While the previous chapters presented those roots that function as “stems” and “prefixes” of current English words, this chapter will present roots that function as “suffixes.”
This post comprises all those suffixes that begin with the letter “A.” It includes many English words whose etymology can be traced to Greek and Latin roots.
If you learn these suffixes, you will be able to understand and use many English words that feature them. Vocab-ability is an easy-to-use resource guide to help you understand those suffixes.
In total, this Vocab-ability post features 10 prefixes that begin with the letter “A."

If it helps you or your students increase your English vocabulary, it will have served its purpose. And I will know that my efforts have proven beneficial.

Note re Copying each Screenshot:
Each separate entry (including those in this and other Vocab-ability posts) consists of one screenshot (since making screenshots was the only way I could properly format the individual entries for uploading to Steemit). To use these entries for your personal study or in any classroom, you can download any or all screenshots by clicking and dragging the screenshots that you want to use, and then print them out.
Note re Intro to Vocab-ability and Guide to Vocab-ability :
Below are the links to the Introduction and the Guide to the Vocab-ability series:
Vocab-ability – Introduction to “Vocab-ability”.
Vocab-ability – Guide to Entries.
Note re Distinguishing between Different Chapters:
As this Vocab-ability series progresses, there will be some overlap of the various alphabetical groupings. (i.e., an "A" post in the first chapter of “Stems,” another "A" post in the chapter of “Prefixes,” and now a third “A” post in this chapter of “Suffixes.”) However, you can easily distinguish between the post containing “Stems” and those containing “Prefixes” or “Suffixes.” As you may notice, the text boxes in the different chapters have different borders.
The first “Stems” chapter has boxes with GRAY borders …
The “Prefixes” chapter has boxes with TAN borders …
This “Suffixes” chapter has boxes with LIGHT BLUE borders …
(Hope this distinction helps.)
great writting bro thanks for educational post.😊
We are held responsible any any documents kept in our portable laptop.
I might have a cardiac problem if I lose it, which will give me a dramatic

great reads here @majes.tytyty.
By the way I transferred a small token to express my appreciation. Stay awesome! ;)
Good work. Glad to see that you are already using the vocab and practicing using these words.
I just saw that small token. THANKS!
Also, when I start the daily posts, I will offer a Vocab Practice exercise for each Vocab-ability entry. You might want to save your practice and use replies for that .... altho you can probably think of new examples at that time.
my pleasure, always happy to learn further @majes.tytyty ;) wow that vocabulary practice exercise is very interactive :) Will check it out :D
