Many English words are made up of a combination of word elements A root is a word
element, often taken from Latin or Greek, that serves as a base to which other elements
are added to modify the root itself A prefix is a word element placed at the beginning
of a root, and a suffix is attached to the end of a root or word Both prefixes and suffixes
change the meaning of the root and form a new word
Recognizing and understanding word elements provide a valuable system of analyzing words, figuring out their meaning, and comparing them to find relationships with words you already know Using this system, you will also be able to organize and learn words
in groups rather than individually
Here are some common Latin and Greek prefixes Study them and look up the meanings
