I love to teach new English vocabulary with clear examples. For example, The prefix pre- is part of the word prefix. A prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. The pre in prefix means the beginning, or before. You will learn lots of other common English words that use the prefix pre in this blog post.

Prefix Origin

This prefix came to English from the Latin word prae-. SOURCE

Prefixes and Hyphens (-)

How can I tell if my prefix word needs a hyphen or not? That’s a great question, even for native English speakers. Hyphens are things we only need to worry about in written English, in English conversation we can’t see hyphens.

Sometimes we need to send an email so we want to use the correct spelling in our message. Here is a basic guide to using hyphens according to Grammar Monster:

Most prefixed words can be written with or without a hyphen after the prefix.

SOURCE

So there is some freedom in our choice to use a hyphen or not. Our goal is to communicate our ideas clearly to our conversation partners, here are a few guidelines to help you achieve that goal in your English writing. 

  1. The prefixes- ex- and self- will always use a hyphen.
    1. Ex-wife – Self-evaluation
  • https://worldenglishblog.com/how-to-teach-the-prefix-ex/
  • https://worldenglishblog.com/the-prefix-self/
  1. Break up matching vowels. This makes your message clear. This applies to prefixes that end in a vowel like CO- and DE-
    1. De-escalate – Co-opt
  • https://worldenglishblog.com/the-prefix-de/ 
  • https://worldenglishblog.com/the-prefix-co/

This applies to the suffix PRE- words pre-empt and pre-exist.

  1. If the vowels don’t match we can usually leave out the hyphen
    1. Deactivate (No hyphen is ok.)
  2. Be careful if your prefix word looks exactly the same or similar to another word. Adding a hyphen makes your meaning clear.
    1. For example, re-cover means to cover again – The verb recover means to get well again after being ill, hurt, etc. (Using a hyphen is necessary to make the meaning of your word clear.) 
  3. Still not sure? Trust your spell checker! I use Grammarly. You can download the FREE version here: Grammarly

My choice to write the word with or without a hyphen (-) is completely random. Both spellings are usually fine. *Except for the matching vowel words mentioned above: pre-empt and pre-exist.

Words with the Prefix PRE- 

I tried to only include words that add the prefix to an existing English word or have the feeling of before in their definition. I didn’t include words like precise that don’t have before or earlier in their meaning.
If you can think of any common words that use the suffix pre to mean before or earlier let me know in the comments.

Quick Summary

Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The prefix pre-, which means “before,” appears in numerous English vocabulary words, for example: predict, prevent, and prefix! An easy way to remember that the prefix pre- means “before” is through the word prevent, for when you come “before” something else to stop it from happening, you prevent it.

«Pre-«: The Prefix of Prefixes

Today we will focus on the prefix pre-, which means “before.” Prefixes are morphemes which begin words, attaching to a word’s main part, or root, adding to the meaning of the word in some way. The word prefix itself has the prefix pre- in it. A prefix is an affix which is fastened or fixed “before” the primary root or stem of a word.

When you try to prevent something, you come “before” it to put a halt to it, thereby keeping it from happening. Someone who is being precise cuts off all inaccuracies “beforehand” to keep only the exact facts. If you’re filled with prejudice towards a particular person, you have judged her “before” knowing her full story.

When you preview a movie, you see it “beforehand” to see if it’s appropriate for younger viewers. By seeing the movie ahead of time, you don’t have to predict or say “beforehand” whether the movie is good or not, since not all predictions are accurate. In this way you prepare in advance, getting ready “before” it’s too late. This is a fine way of taking a precaution, or a being careful “beforehand.”

Sometimes it’s hard for voters to know for whom they will prefer to vote, or which candidate they will carry “before” others when it comes to casting their ballot. It can be a hard choice to know for whom to vote for president, or that person who sits “before” us all governing the country.

Hopefully this preview of the prefix pre- will lead towards precision “before” seeing any words with pre- in them!

  1. prefix: morpheme fastened ‘before’ a root of a word
  2. prevent: come ‘before’
  3. precise: cut ‘before’
  4. prejudice: judge ‘before’
  5. preview: see ‘before’
  6. predict: say ‘before’
  7. prepare: get ready ‘before’
  8. precaution: a being cautious ‘beforehand’
  9. prefer: carry ‘before’ others
  10. president: leader who sits ‘before’ all others

  • The Fascinating Parts of Words

    Morphology is the study of how words are put together by using morphemes, which include prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Parsing the different morphemes in a word reveals meaning and part of speech. For instance, the word “invention” includes the prefix in- + the root vent + the suffix -ion, from which is formed the noun “invention.”

  • Etymology: Word Origins

    Etymology is that part of linguistics that studies word origins. English vocabulary words are formed from many different sources, especially Latin and Greek. By determining the origins of the morphemes in English words, one is better able to remember and determine the dictionary definitions of words.
