submarine
The word "submarine" is an example of a word with the prefix "sub."
"Sub-" as a prefix means under, below, beneath, or near. It is used to indicate that something is lesser in degree, size, intensity, or importance than the root word.
One prefix for the word above would be "supra-" Example, Suprarenal, which means "above the kidneys"
The prefix sub- means under. In this word it roughly means the under way.

The definition of the prefix sub is: Under or less than.
The prefix "sub-" means below, under, or beneath. It is commonly used in English to indicate something that is of a lesser degree or lower in position.
the prefix is sub-
the prefix is (sub)
The opposite of the prefix sub is super (in its primary sense). Compare subhuman and superhuman, for example. However, there aren't always parallel words with sub and super. For example, one might describe goods as substandard, but there's no such word as *superstandard. (The asterisk indicates that the word has been constructed in order to illustrate a point).I would say that "super" is the opposite, assuming you mean "sub" as a prefix, meaning "under, or below." "super" means "placement above. over or outside." If you mean "sub" like a sandwich, I have no idea if it has an opposite!
'Sub' as in 'subhuman' would do or 'hypo' as in hypodermic the latter meaning under the skin. Don't confuse hypo as a prefix with hyper; there is a major difference between someone who is hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic. .....................................................................................................................
