Usage notes

• The suffix -tūdō is added to an adjective to form an abstract third declension feminine noun indicating a condition or state.

Examples:

• ‎magnus (“great”) + ‎-tudo → ‎magnitūdō (“greatness”)
• ‎mollis (“soft”) + ‎-tudo → ‎mollitūdō (“softness”)
• ‎valeo (“be healthy”) + ‎-tudo → ‎valētūdō (“health”)

• The related suffix -dō also forms abstract nouns of state, but is added to verb or participle stems. The resulting nouns often end in -tūdō as a result of the verb stem interaction with -dō.
