-astersuffix

Primary stress is either retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element or attracted to the first syllable of this suffix. Vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Etymology: < Latin -aster, suffix of nouns and adjectives, expressing incomplete resemblance, hence generally pejorative (Diez); e.g. Latin philosophaster a petty philosopher, oleaster a wild or bastard olive, surdaster a little deaf. Extensively used in Romance languages (Italian -astro, Spanish -astro, -astre, Provençal -astre, Old French -astre, modern French -âtre), esp. in French as adjectival suffix, e.g. bleuâtre bluish, blanchâtre whitish, etc. In English only in words from Latin or Romance, e.g. astrologaster, grammaticaster, oleaster, poetaster, politicaster.
