-able

Explanation
The suffix "-able" means "able to be" or "capable of." It transforms verbs into adjectives, indicating that something can be done or is worthy of being done. For instance, "breakable" signifies something that can be broken, while "lovable" describes someone worthy of love. This versatile suffix adds a layer of possibility or potentiality to the word it modifies, expanding its descriptive capacity.

The resulting nouns "cause" and "make" refer to the act of causing or making something to happen.
