In Greek and Latin there are root or base words which can take a prefix, placed before the root, or a suffix, placed after the root, which in combination with the root or base word determines the final meaning. So, prefixes and suffixes are known, collectively, as affixes; in other words, affix is the general term while prefix or suffix is specific to before or after a root or base word. An example of a prefix is "micro-" which means "small." Combining this prefix with the word "scope" results in "microscope." A suffix example is "-able" which means "capable of" or "able to be." Combining with the word "fix" results in "fixable." Combining all three is also possible, as follows: - We take the suffix "pre-" which means "before" or "in advance of" - To this we add the root "-dict-" which means "to say" or "to tell" - And we complete it with the suffix "-able" which means "capable of" or "able to be" Together the result is the word "predictable," which means "to be able to say/tell before, or in advance of."
