Solution

The suffix that forms adjectives indicating "pertaining to" or "located in" is -ic. This suffix is commonly used in the English language to create adjectives from nouns and often denotes a relationship to the root word.

For example:

  1. Analgesic - Pertaining to the relief of pain.
  2. Gastric - Pertaining to the stomach.
  3. Toxic - Pertaining to poison.

Each of these words takes a base noun (analgesia, gastro-, toxin) and modifies it to describe a characteristic of that noun's effect or location. The use of the suffix -ic is prevalent in scientific and medical terminology to convey specific meanings related to various fields.
