The prefix cata- (also cat-) is derived from the Greek kata and, like its Greek root, can have a number of meanings: 1 down; downwards: as in catabolism. 2 wrongly; badly: as in catachresis. 3 completely: as in cataclysm.4 against; alongside: as in catechize.

There are at least 50 words in English that use the prefix.
