the word 'suggested' originates from the latin verb 'suggerere', which is a compound of 'sub-' meaning "under, up from below" and 'gerere' meaning "to carry, bear". the literal sense was "to carry or bring up from beneath", evolving into the figurative meaning of "to bring forward an idea, to propose". the past participle form 'suggestus' gave rise to the english verb 'suggest'. the adjective 'suggested' is formed by adding the english adjectival suffix '-ed', which denotes the state of having been put forward. thus, the modern meaning retains the core logic of an idea being "carried up" into consideration or discourse.

Structure: sug (under, up from under) + gest (carry, bear) + ed (adjective suffix) - sug: from latin sub- meaning "under, up from under". a prefix indicating upward motion or support. - gest: from latin gerere, gestus meaning "to carry, bear, perform". a root indicating an action of carrying or bringing forth. - ed: from old english -ed, -od, a suffix used to form adjectives from verbs, indicating a state or condition.
