The prefix a- comes from the Greek meaning not.. ab-: Prefix from the Latin meaning from, away from, off as in abduction (movement of a limb away from the midline of the body), ablate (carry or cut away), abnormal (away from normal), absorb (to suck away). Abs in the plural is slang for the abdominal muscles.
A suffix is found after the word root(s) and can also change the meaning or function of the word root. It can modify its forms to a different part of speech (a noun, a verb or an adjective) or may refer to a condition, disorder of a part of the body or medical procedure to treat it.nother example: the prefixes âaâ or âanâ are much used in medical terminology and mean without for example: anaemia: an = without/lack of, aemia = blood. anorexia: an = without, orexia pertains to the appetite (anorexia = without appetite).
