suffire
verb
Syllable Decomposition
suffireFrom Latin sufficere, "to place above or in place of", "to supplement" then "to provide", intransitively "to place oneself underneath", that is "to be capable of supporting" hence "to suffice for". The form soufire, which is based on a popular Latin suffīcere, due to the lengthening of ĭ to ī under the influence of verbs like dicere ("to say"), was reLatinized as suffire, in an isolated fashion in the fourteenth century, then regularly from the sixteenth century.
