Latin -que means “and” and is an enclitic, meaning that it is attached to the second of the two coordinated words.
For example:
senatus populusque = “the Senate and the people”
So structurally spoken:
A B-que = A and B
In Classical Latin, -que is normally not written as a separate word but attached directly to the preceding word.
