Detailed explanation-1: -a prefix occurring in loanwords from Greek (diabetes; dialect) and used, in the formation of compound words, to mean “passing through” (diathermy), “thoroughly, ‘’ “completely” (diagnosis), “going apart” (dialysis), and “opposed in moment” (diamagnetism).
Detailed explanation-2: -The English prefix per-, which means “through, ‘’ appears in hundreds of English vocabulary words, such as perish and person. You can remember that the prefix per-means “through” via the word permanent, for something that is permanent stays intact “through” the years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prefixes are letters which we add to the beginning of a word to make a new word with a different meaning. Prefixes can, for example, create a new word opposite in meaning to the word the prefix is attached to. They can also make a word negative or express relations of time, place or manner.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prefix for complete is incomplete. The suffix is the term that is used once a word to alter the meaning of the word. The prefix of complete is ‘in. ‘ Thus, the word ‘complete’ once applying the proper prefix becomes incomplete.
