What is the prefix and suffix for word hieroglyphics?

The word "hieroglyphics" doesn't have a clear prefix and suffix in the traditional sense. It's a compound word formed from two Greek words:

* "hieroglyphos" (meaning "sacred carving")

* "-ics" (a suffix indicating a system, study, or practice)

Therefore, while there's no clear prefix, you can consider "hieroglyphos" as the root word and "-ics" as the suffix.
