To suffice means to be enough — you have exactly what you need, nothing more required. It's a fairly formal word; in everyday speech people usually just say "that's enough" or "that'll do," and save "suffice" for writing or more careful speech. You often meet it in the fixed phrase "suffice it to say," which means "I won't explain everything, but I'll just say this much" — used before giving a short summary instead of the full story.
足夠、夠用（語氣正式，常見於書面）；suffice it to say = 只需這麼說就好
組成From Latin "sub-" (up to) plus "facere" (to make/do) — literally "to make up to" a certain amount.
