Best Answer

Suffixes. Suffixes are morphemes that attach to the end of a word. Examples are: -ion in motion

-ate in investigate

Prefixes. Prefixes attach to the beginning of a word. Examples

are:

re- in redo

un- in unthinkable

Circumfixes. Circumfixes are affixes that "surround" the word,

attaching to the beginning and end of the word. Although English has

few examples of this type of affix, other languages use it. The

circumfix is probably most widely known from the German past participle

(ge- -t for regular verbs). Probably the only circumfixes in

English are:

en- -en in enlighten

em- -en in embolden
