-itioussuffix¹

Primary stress is attracted to the first syllable of this suffix and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Compound suffix of adjectives, < Latin -ici-us or -īci-us + -ous suffix. These Latin endings, from the confusion of c and t in late and medieval Latin manuscripts, were formerly written -itius, whence the current English spelling for the etymologically correct -icious. The Latin adjectives were of two classes:

1. those in -icius from nouns, as ciner-icius of the nature of ashes, gentīl-icius of the clansmen, tribūn-icius of a tribune

2. those in -īcius from past participles, as advent-īcius characterized by having come in from without, adscript-īcius of the class of the adscripti, comment-īcius of an invented sort, conduct-īcius of a hired sort, fact-īcius of a made sort, fict-īcius of a feigned sort, supposit-īcius of a substituted nature. These are anglicized with the suffix -ous, as in ascript-itious, comment-itious, conduct-itious, fact-itious, fict-itious, supposit-itious; and the formation is freely extended when required, as in abstractitious, adscititious, excrementitious, etc.
