It converts an adjective into a noun denoting a state, condition, or quality.
The suffix '-ence' (or '-ience') is a noun-forming suffix derived from Latin that attaches to base adjectives or verbs to produce abstract nouns denoting a quality, state, or condition. In 'resilience', it transforms the descriptive quality 'resilient' into the noun representing the capacity to recover quickly.

Analyze the bolded word into its morphological components.
The word 'resilience' consists of the base 'resili-' (from the adjective 'resilient') and the suffix '-ence'.
Identifying the suffix isolates the morpheme responsible for altering the part of speech and core semantic function.
2
Determine the syntactic category and semantic effect of the suffix -ence.
The suffix -ence creates an abstract noun meaning the quality, state, or condition of being resilient.
Recognizing standard derivational suffix rules helps determine how parts of speech and meanings are transformed.
