Some adjectives are formed by adding a suffix to a noun.
Some examples are:
angel + ic = angelic
acid + ic = acidic
child + ish = childish
accident + al = accidental
music + al = musical
danger + ous = dangerous
humor + ous = humorous
hope + ful = hopeful
use + ful = useful
hope + less = hopeless
use + less = useless
wonder + ful = wonderful
hate + ful = hateful
show + y = showy
wind + y = windy
Sometimes an ending vowel is dropped before adding the suffix, or an ending consonant is doubled before adding the suffix; for example:
fame - e + ous = famous
misery - y + able = miserable
volcano - o + ic = volcanic
industry - y + ial = industrial
bag + g + y = baggy
fun + n + y = funny
fur + r + y = furry
sun + n + y = sunny
