Can anyone provide a quick explanation of the origins of Romance augmentative suffixes like Italian -one and Spanish -ón? I am sure I remember reading that Latin did not have true augmentative suffixes, so I am wondering from what these later forms developed?
Cheers, Carlps - though I also vaguely recall there was a Celtic suffix –onos with a augmentative function.
