What is an antonym for the prefix sub?

What does prefix SU mean?

it means "good". like super, superior or superman. Ignore the above, super- is a prefix all its own. The only relation su- has with super- is sur-, a form of sub- and super-. Su- is a form of the prefix sub- that is used only if it comes before sp, like suspect or suspicion. It means under, imperfectly, or secondary.


Is there an opposite to 'sub'?

The opposite of the prefix sub is super (in its primary sense). Compare subhuman and superhuman, for example. However, there aren't always parallel words with sub and super. For example, one might describe goods as substandard, but there's no such word as *superstandard. (The asterisk indicates that the word has been constructed in order to illustrate a point).I would say that "super" is the opposite, assuming you mean "sub" as a prefix, meaning "under, or below." "super" means "placement above. over or outside." If you mean "sub" like a sandwich, I have no idea if it has an opposite!

By changing the prefix of the word 'submarine' what would be the opposite word in meaning?

Marine means water or ocean or sea or the like. The prefix "sub-" means underneath or below or lower. So submarine means under water. Changing the prefix of submarine to make a word opposite in meaning would be to replace the prefix with a prefix that means higher or above or over. And "super-" is the prefix that fits the bill. The word supermarine would mean above water.
