-ica

Etymology

From Latin -ica, neuter plural of -icus.

Note that etymologically this is not -ic + -a ("(plural ending)"), as -ic is the English form, having dropped the -um, though adding an -a to an English word ending in -ic does produce a superficial etymologically.

Suffix

1. a collection of things that relate to a specific place, person, theme, etc.

   Synonyms: -ana, -iana, -ia
