Why is a prefix added to the end of a word?

Answer 1

a prefix is an affix added to a word root or a word stem.

Examples:

root: cook

prefix: pre -

whole finished word: precook

one can add numerous (however, also a limited amount) affixes to a word root or stem. To complete the above word, one could also add an "-ed" suffix (which comes at the end)

root: cook

prefix: pre -

suffix: -ed

whole finished word: precooked

the affixes can either be:

prefixes, which come at the beginning of a root

suffixes, which come at the end

circumfixes, which go around the word root (not that common in English)

infixes, which go inside a word root or stem (also not that common)

Answer 2

A prefix is added to the end of a word to either make a new word or to give that word a complete new meaning.

Answer 3

The word prefix is a noun. A prefix itself (letters added to the beginning of a word to make a new word) isn't a part of speech.
