Does the Suffix crit mean to separate?

No, the suffix "-crit" does not mean to separate. It is derived from the Greek word "krinein" which means "to decide, judge, or separate." However, it is most commonly used in the context of critical, meaning extremely important or significant.

Here are some examples:

* Critical - extremely important; crucial

* Critic - a person who judges or evaluates, especially in the arts

* Critique - a critical analysis or evaluation

* Criterion - a standard or principle by which something is judged or assessed

While the root word "krinein" can imply separation, the suffix "-crit" itself does not directly translate to "separate."
