Probably from a Vulgar Latin *-idiō or *-izō, form of the suffix *-idiāre or *-izāre, ultimately from Ancient Greek -ίζειν (-ízein), but used as an infix in Romanian conjugated forms of verbs (similarly to how Spanish and Portuguese use the unrelated -ecer from Latin -escere, from -escō (as in parecer, padecer, merecer, etc)). The suffix does not appear in the infinitive form of the verb in Romanian, however. The Latin *-idiāre or *-izāre has also led to -eggiare in Italian, -ear in Spanish and Portuguese, -ejar in Catalan and Occitan, and -oyer in French. The Aromanian equivalent is -edz or -edzu. The infinitive form of the Romanian suffix can also be found fossilized as part of the infinitive of a few verbs, such as boteza, râncheza, undeza. Compare also the Romanian suffix later borrowed ultimately from the same source (through French), -iza.

• -iza

From the Latin genitive suffix -icī, from -icus, originating as a calque of surname-formation conventions of the Visigoths. Cognate to Portuguese -es.

• -es

-ez

1. suffix forming many Spanish surnames: Enríquez, Godínez, Gómez, González, Gutiérrez, Hernández, Ibáñez, López, Martínez, Ordóñez, Pérez, Ramírez, Rodríguez, Sánchez, Velázquez.

Spanish patronymics are often formed by substituting "-ez" for a final "o" or "e" in the first name of the father of the person whose surname is so formed. Thus, the son of Hernando becomes "Hernández", the son of Álvaro becomes "Álvarez", and the son of Enrique becomes "Enríquez". For some Spanish patronymics, the suffix is not -ez but -iz or -oz, as in "Ortiz", "Muñiz", "Muñoz". The name "Cortez" is not a patronymic but derived from the adjective cortés "courteous".

From spoken Latin -itie, from Classical Latin -itiem, accusative of -ities (a variant of this was -itia, see -eza). Compare Portuguese -ice.

-ez (plural -eces)

1. Suffix forming nouns of feminine gender from nouns and adjectives, denoting "state of" (similar to English -hood, -ness, -ty).

   ‎niño (“child”) + ‎-ez → ‎niñez (“childhood”)

   ‎viejo (“old”) + ‎-ez → ‎vejez (“old age”)

   ‎estúpido (“stupid”) + ‎-ez → ‎estupidez (“stupidity”)

   ‎gigante (“huge”) + ‎-ez → ‎gigantez (“hugeness”)
