-lentsuffix

Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. pestilent adj., n., and adv.

Occurring in adjectives from Latin. The Latin ending -lentus (which in some words has an alternative form -lens) has approximately the sense of the English -ful suffix. It is believed to have been originally a compound, formed by the addition of the suffix -ento-, -ent- (cf. cruentus gory) to stems with stem-formative -lo- or -li-; these stems, however, have not been preserved (except in the case of gracilis slender, whence gracilentus †gracilent), and in classical times -lentus was a productive suffix. Normally it is preceded by u, as in turbulentus turbulent, pulverulentus pulverulent (see -ulent suffix); but there are a few cases in which the stem-vowel of the primary noun appears, as pestilentus (-lens) pestilent, < pestis plague, and some which have an unexplained o, as violentus (-lens) violent, < vi-s force (cf. violāre to violate), sanguinolentus bloody, < sanguin-, sanguis blood.
