Latin prefix

A Latin prefix is a word part added at the beginning of a root word that originates from Latin. These prefixes often modify the meaning of the base word to convey ideas such as direction, number, negation, or time. Examples include “pre-” (before), “sub-” (under), “inter-” (between), and “trans-” (across). Understanding Latin prefixes can help improve vocabulary, especially in English and other Romance languages, by revealing the roots and meanings of complex words.
