A prefix is a group of letters attached to the beginning of a root
or word (or even group of words) serving to modify and/or
extend meaning.
Prefixes generally have an easily understood meaning in and
of themselves, which they apply to the root word to which they
are affixed. Learning about prefixes early on is important in
that it greatly improves reading comprehension at all levels.
