A prefix is a part of a word attached to a beginning of a word which modifies the meaning of that stem.

A prefix is a part of a word attached to a beginning of a word which modifies the meaning of that stem. Prefixes are generally adding an attribute to the base-word. For example the word "prefix" is composed by the prefix of "pre" and the base-word of "fix". The prefix of "pre" means before.

Prefix may also refer to:
