A pejorative suffix is a suffix that attaches a negative meaning to the word or word-stem preceding it. There is frequent overlap between this and the diminutive form. The pejorative suffix may add the sense of "a despicable example of the preceding," as in Spanish ''-ejo'' (see below). It can also convey the sense of "a despicable human having the preceding characteristic"; for instance, as in English ''-el'' (see below) or the development of the word ''cuckold'' from Old French ''cocu'' "cuckoo" + ''-ald'', taken into Anglo-Saxon as ''cokewald'' and thus to the modern English word. Examples of the pejorative suffix: ==Catalan== -alla -alles Suffixed to nouns gives new nouns. Examples: ''gentalla'' (from ''gent'' "people"). It's also used as a collective (group) suffix. -arro -arros (fem. -arra -arres) Suffixed to nouns gives new nouns. Example: ''veuarra'' (from ''veu'' "voice"). It's also used as an augmentative suffix. -astre -astres (fem. -astra -astres) Suffixed to nouns gives new nouns. Example: ''poetastra'' (from ''poeta'' "poet"). This suffix has also the meaning "indirect relation with". -ot -ots (fem. -ota -otes) Suffixed to nouns gives new nouns. Example: ''sabatot'' (from ''sabata'' "shoe"). Suffixed to adjectives gives new adjectives. Example: ''lletjot'' (from ''lleig'' "ugly"). As a suffix it also means "object", giving a lexicalized word. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pejorative suffix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
