How do prefixes and suffixes help determine the definition of a word?

Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of a word that modify its meaning. Suffixes are word parts added to the end of a word that can change its meaning, part of speech, or grammatical function. Understanding them allows for breaking down complex terms into recognizable components to infer their overall meaning.
