-ifysuffix

Primary stress is either attracted to the syllable immediately preceding this suffix or retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element. Vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: -i- connective, -fy suffix.

Etymology: < -i- connective + -fy suffix. In loanwords (directly or indirectly) from classical Latin with this ending the -i- belongs to the stem of the preceding element: see further discussion at -i- connective and -fy suffix. Formations on English words (in some cases ultimately of Latin origin) are found from at least the 16th cent., e.g. gracify v., firmify v., foolify v., neatify v.

The usual form of -fy suffix when combined with English roots, as acidify v., Frenchify v., personify v., etc.
