A PREFIX is a syllable added to the front of a word to change
its meaning.
For example:
 |
 |
| happy | unhappy |
| play > replay | like > dislike | dose > overdose |
The original word is called the ROOT word (or sometimes, the BASE word).
Split the word in column 1 into prefix and root word.
The first one has been done for you.
