What is the suffix for word magician?

There isn't a specific suffix for the word "magician." It's a noun that comes from the word "magic," and the "-ian" ending is part of the root word.

However, you could consider "-ian" a suffix in this case, as it's the part of the word that indicates someone who practices or is skilled in something.

Here's why "-ian" isn't considered a standalone suffix in this case:

* Not a stand-alone suffix: "-ian" doesn't typically attach to any word to create a new noun.

* Part of the root: "-ian" is integrated into the root word "magic" to form the noun "magician."

So, while you could argue "-ian" is a suffix in this instance, it's not considered a separate, independent suffix in the English language.
