Hello,
Today was my first time trying to write the word “autoritaire” (authoritarian). I wasn’t sure how to treat the suffix so I looked it up in my DJS dictionary which shows it written in full.
Following the spirit of compound prefixes and suffixes, I was wondering if suffix “-(vowel)+itaire” could still be written with a detached R-E-R.
I know that in English there mustn’t be a lot of words ending in -itarian, but in French there are a few which are pretty common: autoritaire, prioritaire, majoritaire, minoritaire, sécuritaire, paritaire.
Thanks!
