Suffrage is one of those English language-internal false friends - you could easily confuse it with a personalised state of suffering, especially if English isn’t your first language (my bigger anxieties around this is finding out a word I used extensively has a different meaning than I thought)…
Or that you’ve been pronouncing a word wrong for years because you’ve only ever read it and never heard from another person. It happened to me multiple times that I’ve read a name usually from mythology wrong (swapping two adjacent letters) and then always read it like that until I pronounced it in front of somebody who corrected me.
I think you may want to look into what suffrage is. :B
