What are the suffixes you can put in prosper?

There aren't many suffixes that directly attach to "prosper" to form new words. Here's why and some options:

* "Prosper" is already a complete word. It has a clear meaning on its own, so adding suffixes often feels unnecessary or awkward.

* Suffixes usually modify the meaning of a word. For example, adding "-ing" makes a verb into a gerund ("prospering").

However, you *can* create related words using prefixes:

* "Prosperous" (adjective) - This is the most common and natural way to create an adjective related to prosper.

* "Prosperity" (noun) - Refers to the state of being prosperous.

You could also use "prosper" as part of a compound word, but these are less common:

* "Prosper-well" (hypothetical - would refer to something that helps one prosper)

* "Prosper-minded" (hypothetical - someone who thinks in terms of success)

It's important to note that these compound words are not widely used and might sound a bit artificial.

In most cases, "prosperous" and "prosperity" are the most useful and natural ways to extend the word "prosper."
