All you have to do is break up the word: Gen-er-ous. 'Gen' would be the prefix and 'ous' would be the suffix. 'Gener' could also be the prefix for some other words.
...........This is bloody nonsense. "Gen" har absolutely nothing to do with a prefix.
If it had, -the root of the word would be "er", which is without meaning.
"Gen" is part of the Greek word γενοσ = genus, meaning gender, birth, family, race etc. or perhaps sooner from the Latin "genus" with the same meaning and is derived from the genetive, "generis". A generous man is thus a man from a noble family who could afford to be generous.
