What is the suffix for sagging?

There isn't a single suffix that specifically means "sagging." However, depending on the context, several suffixes can be used to describe the act or result of sagging:

-ing: This suffix indicates an ongoing action, so you could use "sagging" itself to describe the act of drooping or falling downwards.

-ed: This suffix indicates a completed action or state, so "sagged" would describe something that has already drooped or fallen downwards.

-ness: This suffix indicates a state or quality, so "sagginess" could be used to describe the condition of being saggy or drooping.

-y: This suffix is used to indicate a quality or characteristic, so "saggy" would describe something that has a drooping or loose appearance.

For example:

* The sagging roof threatened to collapse.

* The floorboards had sagged under the weight of the heavy furniture.

* The sagginess of the mattress made it uncomfortable to sleep on.

* The old sofa had become quite saggy.

Ultimately, the best suffix to use will depend on the specific meaning you want to convey.
