USAGEIn words ending in -on adopted from French in Middle English, the spelling -on was retained in English （pronounced /（ə）n/, as the last syllable in button）, reflecting a shift of stress away from this final syllable. Words borrowed during the 16th-18th centuries retained the stress on the final syllable with the spelling -oon （pronounced /ˈuːn/, as in balloon）. Later borrowings have tended to retain the French spelling -on （e.g.carton）.
词源
from Latin -onis sometimes via Italian -one.
-oonthe form usually taken in Eng. by Fr. final -on in words stressed on the final syllable, esp. by those adopted during 16–18th. c., as dragon, dragoon, Chalons, shalloon; and hence by the Fr. suffix -on, = It. -one, Sp. -on. L. -o, -ōnem; forming in L. masculine appellatives, often contemptuous, as balatro jester, calcitro kicker, capito a big-headed man, naso a big-nosed man, etc. In It. and Sp. usually augmentative, as donnone big woman, hombron big man; but in Fr. usually diminutive, as in aiglon eaglet, chaton kitten, or after another suffix, as ogrillon little ogre. In Eng. in many adopted words, as balloon, bassoon, batoon, buffoon, cartoon, doubloon, musketoon, quadroon; rarely an Eng. formative, as in spittoon; cf. also octoroon.Eng. representatives of Fr. or Romanic words in -on, when not stressed on the final syllable, and modern borrowings generally, have regularly -on, as in baron, button, felon, jupon, chignon, etc.
-oon
spelling conventional in 15c.-17c. English to add emphasis to borrowed French nouns ending in stressed -on; also used to represent Italian -one, Spanish ón; all from Latin -onem. Used in rare cases to form English words, such as spittoon, octoroon.
-oon /u:n/ suffix.
ORIGIN: Repr. French -on = Italian -one, Spanish -on, from Latin -o(n-).
In nouns from Romance languages, esp. French, adopted between the 16th and 18th cents., usu. equivalent to French words stressed on final -on, as balloon, dragoon, festoon, platoon, saloon, etc., less commonly from Spanish, as barracoon, quadroon, etc., and Italian, as cartoon. Occas. in English formations as spittoon, tenoroon, etc.
 NOTE  Older and modern borrowings, and those from unstressed -on, take -on, as baron, felon, etc.
