Affixes are letters or syllables added at
the beginning or end of a root word.
Prefixes are letters or syllables placed
before the root word or the base form of
a word.
A root word is the form of a word after all
affixes are removed. A prefix changes the
meaning of a word.
For example, the word unloading has the prefix un- that
means “opposite” or “not”. Unload, therefore, means
the opposite of load, or not loading.
