What is a suffix for special?

There isn't a direct suffix that means "special" in the same way that "-ing" means "present participle" or "-ness" means "state of being."

However, depending on the context, you could use various suffixes to convey a sense of "special" or "exceptional":

* -istic: This suffix can indicate a quality or characteristic, often emphasizing a specific kind of "specialness." For example, "fantastic" is special in a "fantastic" way, while "realistic" is special in a "realistic" way.

* -able: This suffix can imply something is "capable of" or "worthy of" something special. For example, "remarkable" means "worthy of being remarked upon."

* -ize: While this suffix primarily indicates "to make into," it can also imply "to make special" or "to emphasize a particular aspect." For example, "formalize" can mean to make something more special or significant.

Ultimately, the best suffix to use will depend on the specific meaning you want to convey.
