I was looking through some previous English lessons that I’ve taught and I noticed the prefix mis- is used a lot in English. I thought this would make a great blog post that can help ESL students and teachers all over the world.
The prefix mis- is used before nouns and verbs to show that something is bad or wrong, or done badly or incorrectly
If you have misfortune you have had bad luck. (noun)
To misbehave is to behave badly. (verb)
After more study and research I put together a great post to answer is all your questions about the prefix mis-. Learn with lots of natural example sentences that you can use right away in your own English conversations.

Words with the prefix MIS-
The prefix mis- means bad or wrong in nouns and wrongly or incorrectly in verbs.
While researching this blog post I found over 1,000 words that begin with the letters M I S. Of course, not all of them are using MIS- as a prefix, but I was surprised but how many words I found using this prefix that I have never used.
For example misdescription
I can guess easily the meaning of this word to mean a description that is incorrect. Even though I can guess the meaning, I’ve never used or heard this word in conversation in my life. (I’m not saying that this word is incorrect, it is just very, very rare.)
I have left words like this out of this post, they are not so beneficial for students who want to learn to communicate in English.
I went through all these words and chose the ones that are the most natural to me. This means the words that I’ve used, heard, or read in my lifelong experience as a Canadian native English speaker.
A couple of the words with this prefix have a very similar meaning.
The verbs misunderstand – misinterpret – misread can all show that a mistake was made in understanding a situation. As you read this list you will become more comfortable with the meanings and soon you will imagine what they mean before you read the definition.

В английском языке существует много отрицательных приставок, а именно: —dis, —mis, —un, —in, —im, —il, —ir,- non.
Префиксы (приставки) добавляют к различным частям речи: к существительным, прилагательным, глаголам и так далее.
Давайте рассмотрим каждую приставку подробнее:

4) —In добавляется к прилагательным. Их желательно запоминать, так как нет правила, на какие буквы они должны начинаться.

Оглавление —> Все префиксы
Продолжаем заниматься словообразованием. Рассмотрим еще парочку префиксов, которые могут встретиться у неправильных глаголов , да и не только у них.
Префикс «MIS -» — имеет единственный смысл = «НЕ ТАК, КАК НАДО или НЕ ТАК, КАК СЛЕДУЕТ», то есть неправильность и ложность. Он произошел от английского глагола to miss = промахнуться, упустить. А теперь и латынь = minus. Вот это все и вкладывается в значения префикса MIS. Прибавляется в основном к глаголам и существительным.
Несколько примеров:
MIS + to place = поместить, поставить на место — to MISplace = положить, поставить не на свое место;
MIS + to lead = вести за собой, быть впереди — to MISlead = вводить в заблуждение, уводить в сторону;
MIS + chance (n) = шанс, случай — MISchance(n) = неудача, несчастный случай;
MIS + to behave = вести себя ( о поведении и манерах) — to MISbehave = плохо, дурно вести себя;
MIS + fortune (n) = удача, счастье, судьба, фортуна — MISfortune (n) несчастье, беда;
MIS + to lay = класть, положить — to MISlay = положить не на то место;
MIS + to spell = писать и говорить по буквам — to MIS-spell = писать с орфографическими ошибками;
MIS + step (n) = шаг, ступень, мера = MIS-step(n) = неверный, ложный шаг, ошибка;
MIS + to understand = понимать — MISunderstand = неправильно понять;
MIS + count (n) = счет — MIScount = просчет.
Хотелось бы сказать о глаголе to MIStake — ошибаться, неправильно понимать, заблуждаться. Корень у этого глагола — всем известный глагол to take = брать, взять. Казалось бы, как соединить воедино “брать” и “ошибаться” ? Но все очень просто: глагол “to take” — очень многозначный и одно из его переносных значений = понимать,. считать и полагать. Тогда все сходится:
MIS + to take = понимать, считать, полагать — MIStake = не понять, значит ошибаться.
Есть и существительное MIStake (n) = ошибка, недоразумение, заблуждение.
Префикс IN — особый, “меняющийся” префикс, так как он меняет согласную букву N на буквы M,L R ( IM, IL, IR), в зависимости от того с какой буквы начинается слово, к которому он прибавляется. Закодируем эти три буквы для запоминания: МаЛяР. Кроме того, запоминаем:
перед буквой “L” префикс IN = IL; то есть получаем сдвоенную букву “L” ,например: iLLusion, iLLegal, iLLuminate;
перед буквой “R” префикс IN =IR; то есть получаем сдвоенную букву “R” , например:iRREgular, iRResponsible, iRRevelant;
перед перед буквами “P”,”M”,”B” префикс IN =IM , то есть получается сдвоенная буква “M” и сочетания букв “MP” и MB”, например: iMMortal, iMProve, iMBalance. Чтобы запомнить три согласных буквы P,M,B я кодирую: ПуМБа.
Если вы откроете словарь на букву “I” и просмотрите слова, которые начинаются на буквы IN, IR, IM ,IMB, IMP ( а таких слов очень много) , то почти все они с префиксами. Выучив одно корневое слово и прибавив к нему префикс, вы автоматически будете понимать два слова, а с учетом суффиксов это количество растет вдвое, втрое. вчетверо … и т.д.
Теперь рассмотрим смысл префикса IN.
Префикс IN имеет два смысла:
1. Полностью вбирает в себя смысл предлога места “IN”= в , внутри; с таким же переводом. В этом значении префикс IN не всегда меняет свою согласную “N”. Несколько примеров:
IN + sight — INsight (n) = проницательность, способность проникновения, интуиция;
IN + come — INcome (n)= доход, приход, заработок;
IN + deed — INdeed (adv) = в самом деле , действительно;
IN + born — INborn IMborn (adj) = врожденный;
IN + to lay — INlay = вкладывать, выстилать;
IN + to put — INput = входить;
IN + to set — INset = вставлять, вкладывать;
IN + to press — IMpress = впечатлять, производить впечатление;
IN + to breethe — INbreethe = вдыхать;
IN + cut — INcut(n) = врезка;
IN + land = INland (n) = внутренняя часть земли, удаленная от моря.
2. Префикс IN имеет ОТРИЦАТЕЛЬНОЕ значение . Это аналог префикса UN. Переводится: НЕ или БЕЗ.
IN + moral — IMMoral = аморальный;
IN + delicate — INdelicate = неделикатный, нетактичный;
IN + comparable — INcomparable = несравнимый;
IN + patient — IMpatient = нетерпеливый;
IN + convenient — INconvenient = неудобный;
IN + logical — ILLogical = нелогичный;
IN + different — INdifferent = безразличный;
IN + action — INaction = бездействие;
IN + ability — INability = неспособность;
IN + curable — INcurable = неизлечимый.

There are a few words in the English language that have a mis prefix. This means that the word has been changed in some way, but the change doesn’t really make sense. One example of this is the word misuse. To misuse something means to use it in a way that it was not meant to be used. This doesn’t really make sense because if you use something in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used, then you are using it correctly! Another example of a mis prefix is the word misinterpret. To misinterpret something means to understand it incorrectly. This doesn’t really make sense either because if you understand something incorrectly, then you are understanding it correctly!

Mis Prefix Words Meanings
Mismarry Meaning
Mismarrying is when a couple gets married even though they are not meant to be together. Mismarrying can lead to divorce, unhappy marriages, and a lot of stress. It is important to make sure you are marrying the right person for you.
Misconstruer Meaning
When someone misconstrues the meaning of something, they interpret it in a way that is not accurate. This can be due to a misunderstanding, or because the person is deliberately trying to distort the truth. In either case, it can lead to some serious problems if the wrong information is acted on.
Misappreciative Meaning
Appreciation is one of the most important emotions we can feel. It’s what allows us to savor the good moments in life and helps us get through the tough times. But what happens when we start taking appreciation for granted? We lose its power.
Mishegaas Meaning
Mishegaas is a Yiddish word meaning “foolishness.” It is often used to describe someone who does something silly or stupid. For example, if your friend falls down the stairs, you might say “What a mishegaas!
Misarchist Meaning
Misarchism is a term that has been tossed around in recent years to describe the current state of the world. It is a word that is difficult to define, but many people seem to know what it means when they see or hear it. The definition of misarchism is still up for debate, but it can be generally described as a movement that seeks to overthrow the current system and replace it with something better. Some people believe that misarchism is nothing more than anarchy, while others believe that there is a clear distinction between the two movements.
Misimagination Meaning
What does the word “misimagination” mean to you? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as “the act of misimagining; a wrong or faulty imagination.” For me, it means not only thinking negatively about myself or others, but also not being able to see the good in any situation. It’s like looking at the world through a dark, cloudy lens that only allows me to see the negative. This way of thinking often leads to feeling down and discouraged, which can be very harmful both mentally and physically.
Misdirectional Meaning
Misdirectional Meaning is a communication barrier that can cause misunderstandings in conversations. It’s caused when the speaker intends to communicate one message, but the listener interprets it as something else. This can be especially problematic in cross-cultural communication, where different cultures may interpret words and expressions differently.
Miskick Meaning
The term “miskick” is not often heard, but it is a very important term in the sport of soccer. A miskick is when a player kicks the ball in a way that it does not go where they intended. This can lead to the other team getting the ball, or even worse, the other team scoring a goal.
Misclassify Meaning
Classification of workers is an important part of labor law. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) defines who is a “non-exempt” worker and who is “exempt” from overtime pay. The FLSA’s regulations are complex, and employers often misclassify workers as exempt when they should be classified as non-exempt. This can lead to workers not receiving the overtime pay they are owed.
Mismatcher Meaning
When an organism’s physical features or behavior does not match its expected environment, that organism is known as a mismatcher. Mismatching can be a useful tool for survival, as it allows organisms to hide from predators or sneak up on prey. However, mismatching can also be dangerous, as it can lead to misidentification by predators or prey. Despite the risks, mismatchers continue to thrive in the natural world.
Misanthropist Meaning
The word “misanthropist” has a few different meanings, all of which have to do with people. A misanthrope is someone who hates people in general, while a misanthropist is someone who hates people because of their nature. Someone can also be a misanthrope without being a misanthropist if they simply don’t like people but don’t hate them. Lastly, a misanthropist can be someone who withdraws from society and only interacts with others when necessary.
Misseldine Meaning
The surname Misseldine is of English locational origin, from any of the various places so named, for example in Hampshire, Norfolk and Northumberland. The place name is derived from the Old English pre 7th Century “miscg,” meaning badger, and “denn,” meaning a den or lair. Hence, the name would have originally referred to someone who lived near a badger’s den.
