What does prefix cruci mean?

The prefix "cruci" comes from the Latin word "crux", which means "cross".

Therefore, "cruci" generally refers to something related to a cross.

Here are some examples:

* Crucifix: A representation of the cross, especially one with the figure of Jesus Christ upon it.

* Cruciform: Having the shape of a cross.

* Cruciferous: Relating to the plant family Brassicaceae, which includes plants like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, so named because their flowers have a cross-like structure.

It's important to note that the prefix "cruci" can also have a broader meaning of "suffering" or "torment", as crucifixion was a form of capital punishment.
