What does the suffix -ible mean in the word irresistible and is it an adverb or adjective?
There is no hard-and-fast rule. Words with -ible are of Latin origin, so the suffix is no longer being used to create new words; all new coinages use -able (for example, if you're looking to spell the word that means "suitable for being blogged", it would be "bloggable"). However, there are also words of Latin origin that use -able.
One guideline that follows from this is that, if you remove the suffix and are left with a complete word, this generally means that the suffix was spelled -able and not -ible. This doesn't work for all words, though: accessible, contemptible, and flexible are a few of the exceptions.
