In language, a morpheme is considered to be the smallest grammatical unit. When a morpheme is used in front of the stem of a word it is called a prefix. The prefix can alter the meaning of the word. For example the word "unhappy" uses the prefix un- which means "not" therefore the word means "not happy".

Other examples of words with prefixes include disagree, inactive, prearrange and disappear.

That sounds remarkably like a homework question to me. I won't do your homework for you, but I will tell you how to do it.

Grab yourself a dictionary - a real live one, not one online - and start browsing through the words in it. Every time you come to a word with a prefix you haven't written down, write it down. I would have to do the same thing if I were to actually provide you with the answer. It won't take you very long to come up with your list.
