Directional suffix

-ERN

Think of the ending that turns "north," "south," "east," or "west" into a single descriptive word, like a region or breeze.

This clue points to "-ERN," a suffix often added to words to indicate direction, like "northern" or "eastern." It’s a straightforward definition where "directional" hints at compass points, and "suffix" tells you it’s an ending. Think of words where "-ern" shows which way something faces or lies.
