Does headway have a prefix or suffix?

"Headway" is a compound noun. It doesn't have a prefix or suffix in the traditional sense. It's formed by combining the words "head" and "way," which themselves are independent words.

Here's how it works:

* Head: Refers to the direction or leading edge.

* Way: Refers to progress or movement.

Therefore, "headway" essentially means "progress made in a forward direction."
