The word 'prefix' does contain a prefix; it is made up from the Latin praefixus (fix in front [of]) + figere(to fasten, to fix), so the 'pre-' part of the word is a prefix.

The word 'prefix' itself can certainly be prefixed, if the occasion should arise. For example:

'As a PhD Jan is entitled to use the prefix 'Doctor' but since she was asked to deliver a baby on a flight to Australia she's been a bit anti-prefix, and prefers to simply be known as Ms Jan Smith.'
