beauty + - ful

The rule that was applied to the root word to add the suffix - ful is that : If a base word ends in a consonant and y, change the y to i before adding the suffix, unless the suffix is - ing.

Explanation: The final letter"y" is deleted and there is an insertion of "I" before adding 'ful' to form the word " beautiful".
