ID1670399613 answered: It is just the combination of the g and the n that give it that spelling. AngieLisle answered: Words like gnats are throw-backs to Old English, when the letter wasn't silent. The word was once pronounced 'gah-nat.' Our language simplified as it evolved, hence the different pronunciation ('nat') but we have kept the originally spelling.
There isn't any because the word gnat (you spelled it wrong) does not have a prefix or sufix. Not all words have prefixes or sufixes.
