Usage notes
A common but false misconception is that countries that end with -ia in Ido, for example, use this suffix when in fact it's part of the root itself. Though, -io at times can help shape country names to fit; uses the extra i so not to be confused with  at the same time resembling other country names.

Etymology 5
Ultimately from. The question of how it came to be differentiated from third-conjugation -iō, -ere is still debated. Vine 2012 derives denominatives such as from  (with the thematic vowel *-e- before the suffix), proposing that unaccented Proto-Indo-European *-e- came to be assimilated in Italic to an immediately following *-y-. Alternative explanations include an Italic version of Sievers's law (that is, a prosodically conditioned development of postconsonantal *-y-* to *-iy- in certain contexts) or combination of the suffix with stems ending in *-i-. Some verbs may be derived from backformation from adjectives ending in, such as , whose finite forms are attested later than.
