What are suffixes for flavor?

There aren't specific suffixes that directly mean "flavor" in English. However, there are suffixes that can be used to create words related to flavor, taste, or the sense of taste:

Suffixes related to taste and flavor:

* -ous: This suffix can be added to words describing flavors, creating adjectives. For example: "citrus" becomes "citrusous," "spicy" becomes "spicier," "savory" becomes "savoryous."

* -y: This suffix can also create adjectives from words describing flavors, often adding a less formal tone. For example: "sweet" becomes "sweety," "salty" becomes "salty."

* -ful: This suffix emphasizes the presence of a flavor. For example: "flavor" becomes "flavorful," "spice" becomes "spiceful."

Suffixes related to the sense of taste:

* -gust: This suffix is used to refer to the sense of taste. For example: "gustatory" means relating to the sense of taste.

* -tastes: This suffix can be added to words describing substances, forming nouns referring to the taste of those substances. For example: "wine" becomes "wintaste."

Other suffixes:

* -ish: This suffix can be used to indicate a slight or approximate flavor. For example: "sweet" becomes "sweetish."

* -esque: This suffix implies a resemblance to a flavor. For example, "chocolate" becomes "chocolateesque."

It's important to note that the use of these suffixes can vary depending on the context and the specific word being modified. Additionally, there are many other words and phrases that describe flavor, taste, and the sense of taste, and not all of them use these suffixes.
