-asy

-asy: -asy

There are only four nouns in common use that end in -asy as distinct from -acy. These are apostasy, ecstasy, fantasy, and idiosyncrasy. In all these cases the ending is not a distinct suffix but corresponds via French and Latin to Greek nouns ending in -asia or -asis. Ecstasy is made up of words meaning ‘standing outside oneself’ (and therefore subscribes to the same notion as the idiom be beside oneself), and idiosyncrasy means literally a ‘personal mixture’, from Greek roots idios ‘personal’ and krasis ‘mixture’.
