What does the suffix phone mean?

The suffix "-phone" comes from the Greek word "phōnē", which means "sound" or "voice".

So, when you see "-phone" at the end of a word, it usually refers to something related to sound or the transmission of sound.

Here are some examples:

* Telephone: A device used to transmit sound over a distance.

* Microphone: A device that converts sound waves into electrical signals.

* Homophone: Words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings (e.g., "to," "too," and "two").

* Symphonic: Relating to a symphony, a large musical composition for an orchestra.

* Phonograph: A device that records and plays back sound.
