  1. inflectional suffix

    An inflectional suffix is a type of morpheme (the smallest meaningful unit of language) which is added to the end of a word to indicate a grammatical relationship or function, such as tense, case, number, or gender. It does not change the part of speech or the essential meaning of the word, but rather modifies its form to fit into different syntactic or semantic contexts within a sentence. For instance, adding "-ed" to a verb to indicate past tense (like "walk" to "walked") is an example of an inflectional suffix.
