wow used an interesting word in a recent post, "plaudits". It reminded me of "pundits", and i'm wondering (1)if the "dit" ending means "to say" (i'm assuming there's a Latin word to that effect, since IIRC the french word for speak is 'dit') (2)are there a bunch of other related words that end in "-dit"?

i'm guessing that the first part of my query falls squarely within the YCLIU guidelines, but i figured i'd be lazy since i know of no search engine that would help me find words based on a suffix. anyone??

TIA
