A
Negative prefixes on adjectives
Prefixes are often used to give adjectives a negative or an opposite meaning. For example, fair/unfair,
experienced/inexperienced and similar/dissimilar are opposites. Other examples are ‘unnatural’,
‘inedible’, ‘disorganised’. Unfortunately, there is no easy way of knowing which prefix any adjective
will use to form its opposite.
