Prefix - Glossary of Terms Prefix A prefix is added to the front of a word to change its meaning.  Both prefixes and suffixes (added to the back) are affixes. Prefixes are sometimes hyphenated. Examples: anti-war (prefix "anti"), preconception (prefix "pre"), postnatal (prefix "post")   Interactive xample: Anti-government troops rallied around the ex-President on the square. [show me the prefixes]   When connected to a title, a prefix is not written with a capital letter (unless it starts the sentence). I met ex-President Clinton.
