Homework help…?

what does the suffix ‘ment’ mean?

Oh and I also need at least one word with the root ‘mono’ and the suffix ‘ic’ or ‘tic.

Thanks in advance!

Couldn’t find it online (probably not looking hard enough!), but offhand I’d say the suffix “-ment” turns a verb into a noun. Examples would be “punishment”, “astonishment”, “development”, etc.

Words with the root “mono-” would include “monolithic”, “monotonous”, “monomania”, “monotheistic”, etc.

Words with the suffic “-ic” or “-tic” would be “manic”, “neurotic”, “romantic”, “pedantic”, etc.

Hope that helps!

The suffix -ment forms nouns, chiefly by attaching to verbs. It can have several meanings, the most common being “an act or an instance of doing something” or “the state of being acted upon.” Thus an entertainment can be “an act of entertaining” and amazement is “the state of being amazed.” Sometimes -ment can mean “result of an action,” as in advancement.

“-ment” is a suffix used to create a noun from a verb. It basically means the act of doing something.

a word with “mono” and “ic”.. first that comes to mind is Monosyllabic, meaning one syllable. In that sense, however, syllable may be considered the root and mono- the prefix.

There is also an mathematics term, “monic,” which refers to a polynomial whose highest degree coefficient is 1.

“ment” is a suffix that turns verbs into nouns. “Enjoy” and “enjoyment”. “Content” and “contentment”. “Amuse” and “amusement”. And so on.

The only word that I can think of is “monotonic”, which is a math term meaning it always does the same thing – monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing.
