Modifiers, also called Suffixes, Prefixes, or Terminology, are used to alter the state of a label. This can come in many forms, including small alterations like the -near suffix, or great alterations like the anti- prefix. These additions to labels help to clearly define the modification of an already existing term, in a way that caters towards the individual using the label(s). The hyphen (-) used in the modifier indicates where the main label should start or finish. For example, a -suffix added on to a main label would look like 'Pansexualsuffix', and the -prefix added on would appear as 'Prefixpansexual'. The hyphen does not have to be included when added to the main label, but it can be.
