What is the prefix for word impressive?

There is no specific prefix for the word "impressive". The word itself comes from the verb "impress", which means to make a strong impression on someone.

However, you can create words with related meanings by using prefixes like:

* Im-: This prefix means "not" or "lacking," so "im-impressive" would mean "not impressive" or "unimpressive."

* Un-: This prefix also means "not," so "un-impressive" would have the same meaning as "im-impressive."

* Over-: This prefix means "too much" or "excessive," so "over-impressive" could be used to describe something that is excessively impressive or overwhelming.

* Under-: This prefix means "less than" or "insufficient," so "under-impressive" would describe something that is less impressive than expected.

While these are possible word formations, they are not standard English vocabulary and would be considered informal or even humorous.
