Affixes: The Building Blocks of English

In this online dictionary by Michael Quinion, more than 1,250 entries are defined and explained with 10,000 illustrative examples. The content is based on Quinion’s book “Ologies and Isms: Word Beginnings and Endings,” originally published by Oxford University Press in 2002. After the book went out of print in 2008, Quinion made the information available as a free online service. The site is currently undergoing revisions and updates. Copyrighted material is protected, and the site welcomes comments and feedback.
