The prefix con-, which means âwithâ or âthoroughly,â appears in numerous English vocabulary words, for example: connect, consensus, and conclude. An easy way to remember that the prefix con means âwithâ is through the word connect, or join âwith.â A way to remember that it means âthoroughlyâ is through conclude, or âthoroughlyâ close a matter.
