Suffix

Etymology: Inherited from Middle French -s, from Old French -s, from Latin -s (second-person singular). The spread of this ending to the first-person singular began in Old French when final -s was no longer pronounced in preconsonantal position. The grammarians later on standardised the usage, prescribing -s in some cases and rejecting it in others.
