What is the suffix of -lexia?

The suffix "-lexia" is used to indicate a condition relating to language, reading, or writing. It comes from the Greek word "lexis", meaning "word" or "speech".

Here are some examples of words using the suffix "-lexia":

* Dyslexia: Difficulty reading and interpreting written words.

* Alexia: Loss of the ability to read, often caused by brain damage.

* Agraphia: Difficulty writing, often caused by brain damage.

* Logorrhea: Excessive talking.

* Hyperlexia: Exceptional ability to read, often in the presence of other developmental delays.

Therefore, "-lexia" itself is not a suffix but rather a combining form that denotes a condition related to language.
