Does the prefix homeo mean against?

No, the prefix "homeo-" does not mean "against". It means "same" or "similar".

The prefix "homeo-" comes from the Greek word "homios", which means "similar" or "like".

For example, the word "homeostasis" refers to the tendency of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment, meaning keeping things "the same" or "similar" despite external changes.

If you're thinking of a prefix that means "against", it's likely "anti-".
