The prefix il-, as well as the similar prefixes im-, in-, and ir-, all mean "not", or "the opposite of".
They have their roots in the Latin in- (which also means "not" or "the opposite of"), but the -n- was assimilated with the sound of the following consonant, to become words such as
illegal: the opposite of legal
infamous: the opposite of famous
impossible: the opposite of impossible
irresponsible: the opposite of responsible
These four prefixes share the same definition, and the same roots, and are worth mentioning together.
