Answer:

Adding the suffix -ous turns a noun into an adjective. It means 'full of'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ous is defined as full of or possessing. An example of ous used as a suffix is in the word "contemptuous," which means full of contempt.

Oxford deffinition:(forming adjectives) characterized by; of the nature of.

Hope this helps :)
