Morphology

suckage = suck (transparent) = suck + age

A straightforward nominalization: 'suck' (verb) + '-age' yields the action or process of sucking, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Suckage is formed from the verb suck meaning 'to draw in' and the noun ending -age, and it refers to the action of drawing something in by mouth or by a machine. This use is like the word suction, so suckage can mean the act or power of 'sucking'.
