What is the greek and latin affix of actress?

The Greek and Latin affixes for "actress" are:

Greek:

* -ισσα (-issa): This is a feminine suffix in Greek, often used to indicate a female version of a noun.

Latin:

* -trix (-trix): This is a feminine suffix in Latin, also used to indicate a female version of a noun.

While "actress" is derived from the Latin word "actor," the feminine ending "-ess" is not derived from Latin. It was added later, likely influenced by the French language.
