What does the suffix scop mean in latin?

The suffix "-scop" is not actually a Latin suffix. It's a Greek suffix, derived from the Greek word σκοπέω (skopeō), meaning "to look at" or "to observe."

In Latin, the equivalent suffix would be "-spec-" or "-spect-," which comes from the Latin word specere, also meaning "to look at."

Here are some examples:

* Telescope: From Greek "tele" (far) + "skopeō" (to look at)

* Microscope: From Greek "mikros" (small) + "skopeō" (to look at)

* Spectroscope: From Latin "spectrum" (appearance) + "scop" (to look at)

Therefore, while the suffix "-scop" is not Latin, it has a Latin equivalent with a similar meaning.
