What is an "ending"?

An ending is the last part of a word, often called a suffix, that is added to the main part or root to modify its meaning or grammatical function. Endings can change a word's tense, number, or part of speech. For example, adding the ending "-ed" to the verb "play" forms "played", indicating past tense. Similarly, adding the ending "-ness" to the adjective "happy" creates the noun "happiness". Endings are essential in word formation, allowing for the creation of new words and contributing to the grammatical structure of a language.
