What suffix means coordination?

There isn't a single suffix that specifically means "coordination". However, there are several suffixes that can imply coordination or related concepts:

Suffixes implying joint action or cooperation:

* -ation: Often indicates a process or action. Examples include "collaboration", "coordination", and "cooperation".

* -ism: Often used to describe a system, practice, or belief that involves cooperation or coordination. Examples include "collectivism", "communism", and "federalism".

* -ment: Can denote the result of a process that involves coordination. Examples include "agreement", "arrangement", and "adjustment".

Suffixes implying connection or relationship:

* -al: Indicates a connection to or a characteristic of something. Examples include "national" (connected to a nation), "international" (connected to multiple nations). While not directly meaning "coordination", these can imply collaboration or shared involvement.

* -ive: Can denote an action or process that involves interaction or relationship. Examples include "interactive", "cooperative", "interactive".

Note: It's important to consider the context and the specific word being used. The meaning of a suffix can vary depending on the base word it's attached to.

For example, "co-" is a prefix that indicates "together" or "jointly", which can imply coordination. But it's not a standalone suffix.
