    The document lists numerous prefixes and their meanings when added to nouns and adjectives. Specifically, it provides examples of how prefixes change a word's meaning by either: 1) relating to quality or place, 2) having a nature or cause, or 3) indicating without or like. For instance, the prefix "un-" forms adjectives meaning not or opposite of the root word, such as "unhappy" and "unjust."
