What does the suffix ition mean?

The suffix "-ition" typically indicates an action, state, or process.

Here's a breakdown:

* Action: It often describes an act of doing something.

* Example: "Construction" (the act of building).

* State: It can also signify a condition or state of being.

* Example: "Condition" (the state of something).

* Process: Sometimes it refers to a series of actions or steps.

* Example: "Digestion" (the process of breaking down food).

The suffix "-ition" is often added to verbs to form nouns:

* Verb: "To complete"

* Noun: "Completion"

However, it's worth noting that "-ition" can sometimes have slightly different meanings depending on the word. For example, "position" indicates a location rather than an action.
