What is the suffix for divide?

There isn't a single suffix that directly means "divide". However, the suffix "-ible" is often used to indicate that something can be divided, like in "divisible".

Here are some other ways to indicate division in words:

* Prefixes:

* Bi-: meaning "two" (e.g., "bisect" means to cut into two parts)

* Tri-: meaning "three" (e.g., "trisect" means to cut into three parts)

* Suffixes:

* -tion: indicating the act of dividing (e.g., "division")

* -er: referring to something that divides (e.g., "divider")

The specific suffix you choose depends on the precise meaning you want to convey.
