Dutch

Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch -ede, from Old Dutch -itha, from Proto-West Germanic *-iþu, from Proto-Germanic *-iþō. More at -th.

Middle Dutch -ede was shortened to -de in late Middle Dutch, and the suffix was devoiced to -te according to the 't kofschip rule. This voiceless variety was then taken to be the suffix proper and the voiced variety gradually fell out of use.

Suffix

-te f (plural -ten or -tes)

appended to an adjective, making a feminine noun which refers to the size or quality referred to by the adjective, cognate to -th.
hoog → hoogte
ruim → ruimte
breed → breedte
lang → lengte
gewoon → gewoonte
appended to the stem of a verb, yields a feminine noun which refers to the object of such a verb.

Middle English

Etymology 1

From Old French -te, -tet, from Latin -tās, -tātem; compare -ite.

Alternative forms

-tee, -tei, -tey, -tie, -ty, -tye
(from early Old French -tet) -tet, -teth, -tethe, -teþ, -tith, -tithe

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /-ˈteː/, /-teː/

Suffix

-te

Forms abstract nouns from adjectives.
Synonym: -ite

Usage notes

Syncope sometimes results in the replacement of -ite with -te. For instance, trinte is sometimes found for trinite (“Trinity”).
Conversely, learned influence may sometimes result in -te with -ite, especially when the word goes back to a Latin original with -itās. This is exemplified by the replacement of personalte (“personality”) with personalite in later Middle English (compare Latin persōnālitās).
As in modern English, -ite tends to attract stress to the antepenultimate syllable, while -te leaves stress where it was on the root.
