📝:
➖Prefixes don't stand alone as their own words, but they significantly change a word's mening when attached to the beginning. There are a variety of prefixes in English, and sometimes different prefixes have similar meaning. By learning common prefixes, you can understand how a word's meaning shifts or changes dramatically.
➖The word <prefix> derives from the ancient Latin <prae>, meaning before, and <figere>, meaning to fix. It entered English as a verb in the mid-16th century from the Old French <prefixes> and as a noun in the mid-17th century from the modern Latin <praefixum>.
🔰 Some common prefixes are:
-
re: to do again
example: reexamine
