-crasy

(General American, Received Pronunciation) IPA: /-kɹəsɪ/

Suffix

Lending a sense of temperament; constituent pattern.

Etymology

Ultimately from Ancient Greek κρᾶσις (krâsis, “mixing”, “tempering”), often via Latin -crāsia and, additionally, Old French -crasie.

Usage notes

Because -crasy and -cracy are homophones, and the former is comparatively much rarer, the two suffixes are often mistakenly conflated in the latter spelling, thus giving rise to such common misspellings as idiosyncracy.
