Words with age as a suffix?

There aren't many common English words with "age" as a suffix. This is because "age" is usually used as a stand-alone word or as a part of compound words.

Here are some examples:

* Teenage: Refers to the period of life between the ages of 13 and 19.

* Middle-age: Refers to the period of life between the ages of 40 and 65.

* Old age: Refers to the later period of life, typically after 65.

You might also see "age" used as a suffix in some less common or technical terms, like:

* Stone Age: A prehistoric period characterized by the use of stone tools.

* Iron Age: A period in human history marked by the use of iron tools.

* Space Age: An era characterized by technological advances in space exploration.

It's important to note that "age" is often used in combination with other words to form compound nouns, such as:

* Golden age: A period of great prosperity or achievement.

* Dark age: A period of decline or stagnation.

* Ice Age: A period of glacial expansion.
