My personal opinion is 'dis' should be considered a prefix to the word 'crimination' and 'ion' also a suffix to the word 'criminate' which can be broken down further to the root 'crime'. I'm not sure of the origin if it is Latin, Hebrew or English. But when I search the word they aren't recognized as being related, but 'crim' is the central focus of several words that should have relation. Example incriminate, criminate, discriminate, criminal, indiscriminate, crime, dis-incrimination. Here are two words that you would think that by the root sound of them that the are rooted similar but not so those words are 'segregate' and 'integrate' they are antonyms. 'desegregation=integration' is equally opposite to 'segregation=disintegration'. The word of the day that needs defined shall be "crimate'.

∙ 14y agoNo. It is part of the word. The easiest way to tell a prefix is if removing it leaves a word but changes its meaning. "Crimination" is not a word.
