My infix is forceful
My suffix is frankly conclusive
Yet, as a whole, I can be awakening
What am I?
HINT:
My prefix is an abbreviation you can find in a definition

$\begingroup$ By any chance is your infix rot13(nez)? $\endgroup$– DooperCommented Mar 18, 2020 at 1:21

Taking a shot at this
espresso - this coffee is awakening
My prefix is unique
esp. - abbreviation for especially, as first and foremost is close to unique
My infix is forceful
press - to press is to force
My suffix is frankly conclusive
so - bring a discussion to an end saying so

$\begingroup$ Well done, this is correct! Sounds like that hint made it too easy, haha. $\endgroup$– mbjbCommented Mar 20, 2020 at 13:33

$\begingroup$ @mestackoverflow -ah maybe, I thought of various types of this answer on first seeing this puzzle, but didn't connect it til I saw the hint. $\endgroup$– TomCommented Mar 20, 2020 at 13:39

Could it maybe be
Eyes?
My prefix is unique
The mathematical number e is unique
My infix is forceful
This was the one I wasn’t 100% on, but the Y Force was part of the Chinese Army in WWII
My suffix is frankly conclusive
’Yes’ is a rather frank conclusion
Yet, as a whole, I can be awakening
Eyes will open when you awaken from sleep
I’m not 100% sure if this is right, and I feel this answer might be a bit too short of a word but is this the answer you’re looking for?

$\begingroup$ Nice answer, but not quite. I'm starting to think the first line is too vague though.. $\endgroup$– mbjbCommented Mar 18, 2020 at 14:22

2$\begingroup$ @mestackoverflow hmmm probably more so than the other lines at least. I’ve been trying I- E- One- Un- Me- as the prefix but can’t get the rest to work. It’s a really nice short riddle, but might need the addition of an extra line or a hint if it goes too long without a correct answer, I’d keep it as it is for now! Who knows, someone might get it still :) $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 18, 2020 at 15:55

$\begingroup$ @BeastlyGerbil Have you looked into rot13(vq, rtb) for line 1? Also, does the title have anything to do with rot13(Gur Njnxravat ol Xngr Pubcva?). The grammar mistake seems intentional. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 20, 2020 at 7:27

$\begingroup$ @VirtualValentin no, it doesn't have anything to do with that. $\endgroup$– mbjbCommented Mar 20, 2020 at 9:53
