PrefixesA prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word to create a new word with a different meaning.
![Page 6: Affixes: Focusing on Words](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020116/55abee311a28ab4a318b4780/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When adding a prefix, do not change the spelling of the original word.
Examples:
Dis + satisfy = dissatisfy
Mis + spell = misspell
Im + mature = immature
![Page 7: Affixes: Focusing on Words](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020116/55abee311a28ab4a318b4780/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A prefix is a word part added before a root. The word created from a prefix and a root reflects the meanings of both of its parts.

SuffixesA suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to create a word with a different meaning.
![Page 19: Affixes: Focusing on Words](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020116/55abee311a28ab4a318b4780/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When adding the suffix –ness or –ly, do not change the spelling of the original word.
Examples:
Plain + ness = plainness
Casual + ly = casually
Exception:
For most words ending in y, change the y to i before adding –ness or –ly.
Empty + ness = emptiness
Busy + ly = busily
