Yeah, and the suffix is scope I think. If this is to help study for a test or something, please don't take my word for it! LOL! >.< xD
Microphone is a combination of two words. It originates from micro and phone.
Micro usually means small, but I believe in this case it means to enlarge, like a microscope.
Phone to most people is just a short word for a telephone, but that is not the case. In both microphone and telephone the word phonemeans the same thing: speech sound. It is short for Phonetics.
Now this is the hard part... is the root word Phone or Phonetics? Technically, phone is a word and is derived from the Greek word, which just so happens to be spelled the same. In Greek terminology, it means Voice. Because of this, I'd say the root is Phone.
The prefix to the word microscope is micro. Simply because if you take micro out of the word you'll get the base word. To conclude, micro is the prefix and scope is the base word.
I Would Say The Answer Would Be Micro Because Its Explaining The Scope How Its A Microscope
