Answer 4

• Prefix is a part of the word in the front part that when used may give a word opposite meaning or different meaning.

• A prefix is an affix which is placed before the stem of a word. Adding it to the beginning of one word changes it into another word. For example, when the prefix un- is added to the word happy, it creates the word unhappy.
