Derivational Suffixes: When a derivational suffix is added to the end of a word, it changes the
meaning of the word, and is usually a different part of speech. But the new meaning is related
to the old meaning—it is “derived” from the old meaning.
In some cases, more than one derivational suffix can be added to a word.
Example: derive (verb) + tion = derivation (noun) + al = derivational (adjective)
