English terms ending with the suffix -le.

Terms are placed in this category using {{af|en|base|-le}} or {{affix|en|base|-le}} (or the more specific and less-preferred equivalents {{suf}} or {{suffix}}), where base is the base lemma from which this term is derived.


This suffix has not been productive of new words since the 19th century. Many words ending in -le were formed in Middle English or are derived from words in other languages with a similar sounding ending, often -el, -elen, or -eln.
