suit definition and meaning

What is a "suit"?

A suit is one of the four categories in a deck of playing cards that groups the cards based on their symbols. In a standard deck, there are four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. Each suit contains 13 cards, numbered from 2 to 10, along with a jack, queen, king, and ace. The suit helps determine the ranking and value of cards in most card games. In many games, certain suits may have more power or importance than others, such as in trick-taking games where a trump suit can change the rules for winning a trick.
