What does the prefix con mean?
Con- Against (This is incorrect... Contra- means against) Con- With or Together (from Latin) The common misconception is that Con (like in Pro or Con) is the same as the word prefix con-. A Con is a negative side to a point, or argument, and a Pro is an affirming side to the same point, or argument. These are two totally different uses of the three letters "con" with totally opposite meanings. The prefix means "With" and the stand-alone word means "Against." Be careful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the only way I knew how to comment... Sorry... Anyways, This is the only place that doesn't say it means against, but from Latin, clud, or clus, the root word, means to shut out. This wouldn't make sense with the word conclude, which, by this definition, means: to shut out together. Please help?
