Etymology

From Latin -ans.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ans/, [ant͡s], [ans]
• Homophone: -anz (except in very careful speech)

Suffix

-ans n (genitive -ans, plural -anzien)

1. (rare) -ant; used in Latin words of learned use which refer to things, often substances

   ‎stimulieren (“to stimulate”) + ‎-ans → ‎Stimulans (“stimulant, stimulating substance”)

Usage notes

• Often confused with homophonous and far commoner -anz. However, the distinction is clear based on the word's gender and plural. Those in -anz are feminine and make -anzen in the plural, while those in -ans are neuter and make -anzien (also spelt -antien) or (highly learned) -antia.
