Yes, "frail" does not have a suffix. It is a standalone word.
The word "frail" is an adjective that describes someone or something that is delicate or weak.
"Frail" comes from the Latin word fragilis, "breakable", via Old French frele. Fragilis in turn comes from the verb frangere, "to break". Believe it or not, frangere and "break" (and thus "frail" and "breakable") are related: they ultimately both come from the Proto-Indo-European root bhreg.
