    This document provides a list of common prefixes and their meanings to help understand word roots and meanings. It is divided into two sections: 1. The first section lists prefixes that provide additional meaning to base words without changing their overall meaning, such as "ante-" meaning before, "auto-" meaning self, and "circum-" meaning around. 2. The second section focuses on prefixes that form the opposite or negative of the base word, such as "a-" meaning without, "ab-" meaning away, and "anti-" meaning against or opposing. Knowing the meaning of prefixes can help determine the definition of unfamiliar words.
