Summary Introduction
A prefix refers to a word element present at the beginning of a word. Substitution of one prefix with another modifies the meaning of the word. For example, in the word micro/cyte, the prefix micro- means small; the suffix -cyte means cell. The meaning of microcyte is small cell. Substituting the prefix micro- (small) to macro- (large) modifies the meaning of the term. The meaning of macrocyte is a large cell. There are several other commonly used prefix that can modify the meaning of the word.
