I am dissecting the word "important"...I am looking at the word "Import"
incased within. Now I belive "ant" is a suffix. Yes? Like Preview..Pre is
a prefix. What does the ant indicate? A noun?
 
No, it is not a suffix. It has no meaning as a standalone. It does not
indicate a noun. In the word important, it's simply because that's what the
word is.
