-olasuffix2

Primary stress is attracted to the first syllable of this suffix and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: pianola n.
Etymology: Probably < -ola (in pianola n.).The term granola n., apparently containing this element, appears as a trademark in 1886 and 1928 but seems not to have been used generally until the second half of the 20th cent. One of the earliest formations with this suffix in commercial use was Shinola n. (1903). The casual slang use is attested from 1919 onwards (see J. E. Lighter Hist. Dict. Amer. Slang (1997) at cited word).
Chiefly U.S.

Used to form nouns denoting commercial products (as Editola n., moviola n., Victrola n.). Subsequently (slang) used as a humorous device for extending ordinary words (e.g. jazzola); a few of these formations have become current (e.g. boffola n. and adj.), esp. with reference to forms of bribery (payola n., plugola n.).For a full account of the uses of the suffix see Amer. Speech (1961) 36 104–16 and (1985) 60 150–6.
