    "-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc.

    So it's very fitting that a company named Apple continuously makes apps.

                    to be purple means to purp with regular intervals.

                    a handle is someone who does lots of handshakes.

                    a beagle is something of great scale.

                    a deagle is a deadly weapon.

                      @PavelASamsonov in South German dialects, -le is used as a diminutive (and often in an ironic sense, using the diminutive form when it is actually quite a bit bigger)
