Hi, please could you break down the suffix of “logue” if it is a suffix, because I looked it up and found nothing then.

Yes, "-logue" is a suffix, though it comes from the Greek "-logos" (meaning "speech" or "discourse"). It appears in words like:
* Dialogue (conversation between two or more people)
* Monologue (a long speech by one person)
* Catalogue (a list with descriptions)
In American English, some words drop the "-ue" (e.g., "catalog" instead of "catalogue").

It's described as a 'noun combining form' in Oxford and Merriam-Webster.
This is from Merriam-Webster.
