What does the term suffage mean?

"Suffage" is an archaic term for the right to vote. It is rarely used in modern English, with "suffrage" being replaced by "voting rights" or simply "voting."

However, the term "suffrage" still holds historical significance, particularly in the context of the women's suffrage movement, which fought for women's right to vote.

Here are some examples of how "suffrage" is used:

* "The women's suffrage movement finally achieved its goal in 1920."

* "The fight for universal suffrage continues in many parts of the world."

* "Suffrage is a fundamental right of all citizens."

It's important to note that "suffrage" can also refer to the act of voting itself. However, this usage is less common than its meaning as the right to vote.
