The prefix is actually "in," meaning "not," but in this word, it is shortened to just "i."

The root word comes from the Latin "gnarus," meaning "aware or acquainted with."

The suffix is "ant," meaning "characterized by or serving in the capacity of."

Making the word "ignorant" to mean "characterized by not being aware."
