Pronunciation

Suffix

-sūra f (genitive -sūrae); first declension

  1. -ure, -work, -ing; used to form a noun relating to some action.

Usage notes

The suffix -sūra is added to the supine form of a verb to create a first-declension noun, typically naming the verb's action or an object associated with that action.

Examples:
clausūra (“clasp of a necklace”), from clausum, supine of claudō (“I shut, close”)

The suffix -sūra (-tūra) resembles the feminine form of (and may be related to) the future active participle ending -tūrus, which describes impending or imminent action (e.g. pictūrus "about to paint"; scrīptūrus "on the point of writing").

Inflection

First declension.
