Answer:

The affix "ous" indicates the following about the word "joyous":

It is an adjective which derives from the noun "joy".

Explanation:

Whenever we add the affix "ous" to a noun, it becomes an adjective. We are not talking about any nouns, but abstract ones only, such as "fame", "adventure", "anonymity", "generosity", "jealousy", "disaster", "hazard", etc. Therefore, by adding the suffix "ous" (affixes: prefixes and suffixes) to the abstract noun "joy", it becomes an adjective which means that person or thing we are talking about is characterized by joy.

It indicates that the word is an adjective. Joy is a noun. Joyous is an adjective.

"The man is filled with joy."

"The man is joyous."

Sauron [17]

Answer:

When I was down and out of luck

When dark the path, my life had took

When I was at my lowest low

A rope, a helping hand did throw

And pulled me up, out of the pit

And in the dark, a candle lit

And for my hunger gave me "Bread"

Then quenched a thirst inside my head

This loving servant helped me see

There's so much more to this, than me

By helping me, she showed me love

And led me to the One above

And now, alone, as I reflect

I find a spot of self-respect

That had been drowning in my tears

And had not shown itself in years

Let me through life, now walk, not run

Because the help of this true one

Did set me straight and on my way

And I'll remember day to day

I found this one hope it helps :)
