If I'd have known studying English and Latin in High School and College could have turned out to be so much fun, I would have paid more attention
I've listed below the most common prefixes and suffixes, but what I don't know and I'm most interested in, is the "other"? What do I mean by that? Maybe there's a name for it, but Rx, IQ, Q2, etc. preceed a lot of domains, and as such I've carved out a niche where two letter or letter/number or number/letter can preceed names like;
RxHomes
IQHomes
Q2Homes
btw, I own none of these, but they're meant to be an example of how to create a brand or simply a new domain. What I'm discovering is, there are a lot of names like this that are available to hand reg. Anyone else discover this niche? Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas. Thanks
Prefixes
A prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word. For example, the word “unhappy” consists of the prefix “un-” [which means “not”] combined with the root (or stem) word “happy”; the word “unhappy” means “not happy.”
A short list of prefixes:
Prefix Meaning Examples
de- from, down, away, reverse, opposite decode, decrease
dis- not, opposite, reverse, away disagree, disappear
ex- out of, away from, lacking, former exhale, explosion
il- not illegal, illogical
im- not, without impossible, improper
in- not, without inaction, invisible
mis- bad, wrong mislead, misplace
non- not nonfiction, nonsense
pre- before prefix, prehistory
pro- for, forward, before proactive, profess, program
re- again, back react, reappear
un- against, not, opposite undo, unequal, unusual
Suffixes
A suffix is a group of letters placed after the root of a word. For example, the word flavorless consists of the root word “flavor” combined with the suffix “-less” [which means “without”]; the word “flavorless” means “having no flavor.”
A short list of suffixes:
Suffix Meaning Examples
-able able to, having the quality of comfortable, portable
-al relating to annual comical
-er comparative bigger, stronger
-est superlative strongest, tiniest
-ful full of beautiful, grateful
-ible forming an adjective reversible, terrible
