The word is from the Latin crepare meaning rattle. The suffix -itus makes it into a noun. No prefix. You can add the prefix de- to make the word "decrepit."

The suffix in "crepitus" is "-us," the prefix is "crep-" associated with sound, and the word root is "crepit," which means to rattle or crackle. Overall, "crepitus" refers to a crackling or popping sound that can occur in joints or other body tissues.
