Caballerosidad - gentlemanlyness.

Is this suffix "sidad" common in Spanish?

Today is the first time I have heard it.

It looks like the suffix can only be added to words ending in "o" - is that correct? - ian-hill, Jun 9, 2011
Answer my own question - no it is not correct. I found some more. :) - ian-hill, Jun 9, 2011
Really, What are they? I was thinking these were ...osity in English. generosity, curiosity, etc. - 0074b507, Jun 9, 2011
necesidad - diversidad - adversidad. - ian-hill, Jun 9, 2011
Of course. So the suffitx must just be... ity - 0074b507, Jun 9, 2011
Well the English suffix " ity " is normally of course " dad " - ian-hill, Jun 10, 2011
