What is the symbol added at end of word to change its meaning?

You're likely thinking of suffixes.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning or grammatical function.

Here are some examples:

* -ing (present participle): walk -> walking

* -ed (past tense): walk -> walked

* -er (comparative): big -> bigger

* -est (superlative): big -> biggest

* -ly (adverb): quick -> quickly

* -ness (noun): happy -> happiness
