Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added to the beginning or end of another word. They are not words in their own right and cannot stand on their own in a sentence: if they are printed on their own they have a hyphen before or after them.
Prefixes are added to the beginning of an existing word in order to create a new word with a different meaning. For example:
Word Prefix New word
happy un- unhappy
cultural multi- multicultural
work over- overwork
space cyber- cyberspace
market super- supermarket
Some prefixes and suffixes are a part of our living language, in that people regularly use them to create new words for modern products, concepts, or situations. For example:
Word Prefix or Suffix New word
security bio- biosecurity
clutter de- declutter
media multi- multimedia
email -er emailer
