There are four set of criteria for doubling the final consonant of a word when adding a suffix. If said word ends in a single consonant, has a single preceding that vowel, has an accent on the last syllable, and the suffix being added begins with a vowel, the final consonant in the word is doubled.
By adding the suffix -ness to the end of the adjective flexible the noun flexibleness is formed.

It specifies whether the word has a short or long vowel sound. Take "hop" and "hope:" If you didn't double the P in "hop" when adding ed, they would look exactly the same, "hoped." But if you double the P before adding the suffix, you can clearly see that the word is "hopped."

Because the stress is on the second syllable of the base word ending in consonant + vowel + consonant. its what separates the U from the E so it dos'nt make the word sound like (oh-cure-ence)
Double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel if both of the following are true: the consonant ends a stressed syllable or a one-syllable word, and the consonant is preceded by a single vowel: : drag becomes dragged : wet becomes wetter : occur becomes occurred, occurring : refer becomes referral, referring
In English, when a vowel is followed by a single consonant and then another vowel, that indicates that the first vowel is a long vowel, as in for example the word kite, long i. If the consonant were double, then the vowel is short, as in the word kitten, short i. So, when adding a suffix, it is sometimes necessary to also add another consonant in order to avoid changing the pronunciation of the vowel that precedes it. Of course, as with all rules of English grammar, there are exceptions.
The prefixes 'a' and 'an' mean without, as inasymmetricaland anarchy. 'A' is used before a consonant and 'an' is used before a vowel.
