Greek and Latin Prefixes: T and U

With “T” and “U,” we’re closing out all of the English prefixes derived from Latin and Greek.

Here are the rest of them:

• Greek and Latin Prefixes: A and B
• Greek and Latin Prefixes: C and D
• Greek and Latin Prefixes: E and H
• Greek and Latin Prefixes: I and M
• Greek and Latin Prefixes: O and P
• Greek and Latin Prefixes: R and S

Reminder: prefixes are morphemes that you can attach to word stems. (You can browse that link for previous posts on classically derived word stems.) Generally speaking, prefix changes word meaning, not word function. That happens with suffixes, which I’ll be starting in the next post in this series.
