Words that start with the prefix Du?

You're looking for words starting with "Du", but there aren't many common English words that fit that pattern. Here's why and some options:

* Prefixes are rarely standalone: "Du" is a possible prefix in some languages, but it's not a common standalone prefix in English. We usually see prefixes attached to root words, like "duet" (two singers) or "dual" (two).

* Potential for misspellings: The combination "du" is often part of words where it's not a clear prefix, like "duration" or "ductile," making it tricky to find true "Du" words.

Here are some possibilities:

* Duet: A musical performance by two singers or instrumentalists.

* Dual: Consisting of two parts or elements.

* Ductile: Capable of being stretched or drawn out into thin wires.

* Duality: The state of being two or having two parts.

It's also possible to find less common words with "Du" at the beginning:

* Duchess: The wife or widow of a duke.

* Duchy: A territory ruled by a duke or duchess.

* Duotone: A photograph or image reproduced in two colors.

* Duplex: A building or apartment with two units, one above the other.
