 A prefix is a group of letters (or an affix) that's added to the beginning of a word, and a suffix is an affix that's added to the end of a word. The group of words which we add before any word which changes the meaning of that word is called prefix. शब्दांश जो किसी शब्द से पहले जोङते है और जोङने के बाद उसका विशेष अर्थ प्रकट करते है उसे उपसर्ग कहते है। prefix means to undo something and is usually attached to a verb.
