-ment suffix forming sbs., repr. (O)F.
-ment :- L.
-mentum, which was added to vb.-stems to form sbs. expressing the result or product of an action or the means or instrument of it, e.g.
fragmentum broken piece (f.
frag-,
frangere),
ōrnāmentum that with which a thing is arranged (f.
ōrnāre).
pavimentum floor of stones beaten down (f.
pavīre). In popL. it was extended to the formation of nouns of action (repl.
-tiō -TION); this was continued in Rom. and is thus widely exemplified in Eng. adoptions from French, e.g.
abridgement,
government,
management. This set the fashion for the treatment of
-ment as if it were native, as in
amazement,
fulfilment,
wonderment. Formations on adjs. are uncommon, as
merriment,
oddments. The corr. adjs. end in
-mental.
