What does the suffix scept mean?

The suffix "-scept" actually comes from the Greek word "sceptron," which means "staff" or "scepter."

Therefore, "-scept" indicates something related to a scepter, which is a staff traditionally held by a sovereign as a symbol of power and authority.

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

* Sceptered: Having or holding a scepter.

* Sceptral: Relating to or resembling a scepter.

While not as common as some other suffixes, "-scept" still appears in words related to royalty, power, and authority.
