Morphology

The suffix '-s' is used to form a noun from the adjective 'kinesthetic', indicating a field or study.
Etymology
Kinesthetics comes from the Greek words kinesis 'movement' and aisthesis 'feeling' (you can also see kinesis in the word kinetic, which means movement), so it literally means 'feeling movement' and that is why it refers to the ability to sense and know your body's movements.
