          This took a moment to figure out; especially the suffix. However, I'm pretty sure I got it:




          Consonant




          My prefix a trick - Supplied by: Joe-You-Know




          Con is a trick.




          my suffix a tick




          Ant; there are two ways this can be interpreted. The first is the animal tick. In relation to tick, ants are looked at as similar with both being insects to most; however, this is not the case. Ants belong to the class insecta whereas ticks belong to the class Arachnida. The second interpretation is in regards to a clock; more specifically the ticking noise it makes. Ant is defined as a suffix; denoting attribution of an action or state. This definition as a suffix helps relate ant to tick in the second interpretation.




          My infix heir to a throne




          Son; in most countries, the first born son is heir to the throne.




          Overall, I am useless alone.




          Most consonants are useless alone.
