The suffix tells the reader that the meaning is related to “having the quality of something.”
Explanation: altru- (from Latin alter, “other”) is the stem meaning “other,” and the suffix -istic (like -ic) makes an adjective meaning “having the quality of” or “pertaining to.” Altruistic = having the quality of concern for others.
