A prefix or suffix is a small group of letters (an element) which is attached to the front or end of a word in order to modify (alter) its meaning. For example: 'successful' becomes 'unsuccessful' when the prefix un- is attached to 'successful'. Prefixes and suffixes are not normally words in themselves, although there are exceptions. Knowing what the prefix or suffix means will give you an understanding of the word.
