词源
from French -fère or Latin -fer 'producing', from ferre 'to bear'.
-ferousin actual use always -iferous |ˈɪfərəs|, an adjectival suffix f. L. -fer producing (f. ferre to bear) + -ous. In Lat. the suffix -fer was always preceded by ĭ, either belonging to the stem as in pestifer, substituted for the stem-vowel as in sensifer, or inserted as a connecting vowel as in ærifer; so that the suffix practically appears in Lat. as -ifer, and in Eng. as -iferous. In Eng. it appeared first in words taken from Lat., either directly or through Fr. adaptations in -fère, as in auriferous, bacciferous, biferous, cruciferous, frugiferous, glandiferous, lactiferous, metalliferous, odoriferous, pomiferous, rosiferous, soporiferous, thuriferous, vociferous. On the analogy thus established -iferous became a living English suffix, capable of combining with any Latin stem, and forms an unlimited number of derivatives, esp. in Natural History, as acidiferous, argentiferous, carboniferous, cocciferous, fossiliferous, lucriferous, sanguiferous, umbelliferous.
-ferous /f(ə)rəs/ suffix. Also (see below) -iferous.
ORIGIN: Repr. French -fère or Latin -fer carrying, bearing (see -fer) + -ous.
Forming (usu. with intermediate -i-) adjectives with the sense ‘having, containing, or carrying’, as auriferous, fructiferous, pestiferous, etc.
-ferous
suffix added to nouns to form adjectives. producing; containing; conveying, as in metalliferous, odoriferous.
[< Latin -fer (< ferre to bear) + English -ous]

 < auriferous >
 < ovuliferous >
— almost always preceded by i
-fer·ous·ly adverb combining form
