The suffix "-acious" is often used in English to form adjectives meaning "full of" or "tending to." It is pronounced as /ˈeɪ.ʃəs/, with the stress on the first syllable. The primary difficulty in spelling this suffix is determining if it should be spelled with "c" or "t." In general, if the root word ends in "e," the suffix is spelled "-acious," as in "vivacious." However, if the root word does not end in "e," the suffix is spelled "-acious," as in "audacious."
