  4. COMPARE Prefix Suffix The “suf” part means “after” and the “fix” part still means “attach.” When you add a suffix at the end, you’ll see how the meanings match!! Let’s explore some words!!! • The “pre” part means “before,” and the “fix” part mean “attach.” • When you add a prefix to a word, you will get a whole new word!! • Prefix + Root = New word!!
