-evole

== Italian == === Etymology === Inherited from Latin -ibilis, -ēbilis, which displaced -ābilis. The sound change from Latin [ɪ, eː] to [o] appears to have been due to the velarizing influence of the following [ɫ] in early Tuscan. Compare Montauto (from montem altum “tall mountain”) or topo (from talpa “mole”). Doublet of -ibile, which is found in Latin borrowings. Compare Sicilian -ìvili. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈe.vo.le/ Rhymes: -evole Hyphenation: -é‧vo‧le === Suffix === -evole m or f by sense (adjective-forming suffix, plural -evoli) -y, -ery, -able, -ible; used to form adjectives from verbs denoting action, etc. ‎incantare (“to enchant”) + ‎-evole → ‎incantevole (“enchanting”) ‎scherzare (“to kid”) + ‎-evole → ‎scherzevole (“playful”) ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Anagrams === elevo, elevò
