- 2. also used as an ending on some adjectives in their own right, e.g. quality. (which is also a noun, but whose meaning as a noun is not simply the property corresponding to the adjective.)
The above is completely misleading and confused, and fails to understand the underlying Latin origins. It may have a place in the entry for quality but it does nothing to explain the suffix. Eclecticology 19:46 Jan 26, 2003 (UTC)

Many of the items in the list of "synonyms" are at least misleading, if not outright wrong. Some need to link to specific Etymology sections at the target suffix entries to avoid wasting users' time and confirm the claimed synonymy. DCDuring TALK 11:23, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
