What are the prefixes for word wind?

There aren't really prefixes for the word "wind" in the same way you might have prefixes for words like "un-", "re-", or "pre-".

The word "wind" is often used in compound words, but these are usually more descriptive of the wind itself, like:

* Headwind: A wind blowing against the direction of travel.

* Tailwind: A wind blowing in the direction of travel.

* Sidewind: A wind blowing from the side.

However, you might encounter words where "wind" is part of a longer word with a prefix, like:

* Windmill: A machine that uses wind power to generate energy.

* Windproof: Resistant to wind.

* Windsock: A cone-shaped device used to show wind direction.

In these cases, the prefixes are not directly attached to the word "wind" but rather modify the whole compound word.
