The "-ious" words
This is a suffix blend becasue it is put on the end of a word.
It is more common that the suffix "-eous."
When the "ious" blend is added to a root word, in most cases, the word ending in "y" is removed and replaced with "-ious." The word then has a long "e" sound followed by a short "u" sound.
For example, mystery is changed to mysterious (pronounced myster-ee-us).
In most cases, the root word (which was either a noun or a verb) is now changed to an adjective.
