A plausable new suffix!

I was just thinking about the movie Inception and thought...is -ception considered a suffix of its own! i hear people saying stuff like "backpack ception (backpack within a backpack) or question ception (a question within a question" the answer to this is most likely a "no" but i just wanted to bring this idea to thought. btw i would consider this a Paarthurnax-only answer since he is the reviewer so dont spam this with comments or opinions please.

Nox hi!

"-ion" is the proper suffix in the word "inception." The usage of "-ception" is rather culturally specific slang.

You could make a case for a proper suffix to exist that means "x within an x," but that has really limited usefulness in actual conversation so I don't think it's something that would naturally develop.
