What does "-rim" mean, as a suffix in English?

[cetuximab]

I've been seeing this a lot recently in the Skyrim modding community.  On this site, for instance, there is Hentairim.  I've seen other examples elsewhere, like "facerim" and "lorerim" and lots more.

 

While in many cases, these "-rim" mods seem to be related to Asian themed modpacks, , the lorerim example I gave doesn't seem to follow this.  So what exactly does -rim mean, as a suffix?  This isn't a standard English suffix so googling "rim suffix" returns nothing useful, and googling what "rim" means as slang just brings up rimjob.

Well, that's embarrassing.  I kept thinking it was some kind of Asian word mashup, like how Japanese has suffixes for addressing people (-san, -sama, -kun, etc.) because I only see it in relation to Asian themed Skyrim stuff...

Pretty much every derivation of Sky-something has been used, so if they want to use a short name mash-up, the -rim is basically all thats left.

 

As for Asian-themed, I think thats more about the shared interests of people that continue to mod 14 year-old games with robust sex engines.
