What is the prefix and suffix for abolish?

The word "abolish" doesn't have a clear prefix and suffix in the traditional sense. Here's why:

* Prefix: While "ab-" can sometimes act as a prefix meaning "away from" or "off," it's not a standard prefix for "abolish." The root of the word is actually "abole" from Latin, which means "to destroy or abolish."

* Suffix: There's no recognizable suffix in "abolish."

Therefore, it's more accurate to consider "abolish" as a single-word verb with origins in Latin.
