The status of the -os suffix French. This article looks at the -os suffixation which has come into French via traditional slang with adjectives (« tranquillos » — cool, « nullos » — no good), but not only adjectives (« matos » — equipment). If word creation was very modest in the past, in the 1980's this instrument of lexical « recycling » was reactivated — perhaps because of its Hispanic origins and because influenced by current trends — before in its turn becoming a victim of a certain degree of erosion and considered old-fashioned by the young users of French.
