Paragoge (/ˌpærəˈɡoʊdʒi/) is the addition of a sound to the end of a word.
[citation needed] Paragoge is most often linked with the nativization of loanwords.
It is particularly common in Brazilian Portuguese, not only in loanwords but also in word derivation.
It is also present in the accents of many Brazilians while speaking foreign languages such as English.
The word paragoge is taken from Ancient Greek: παραγωγή 'deviation; language alteration': from παρα- prefix para- 'beside' and ἀγωγή agogē 'bringing in'.
