Is dis a prefix in disgusting?

No, "dis" is not a prefix in "disgusting".

The prefix in "disgusting" is "dis-". It means "not" or "opposite of".

Here's why:

* "Dis-" is a common prefix in English, and it often adds a negative meaning to the word it's attached to.

* "Gust" is a root word that means "taste" or "enjoyment."

* "Disgusting" means something that is unpleasant or repulsive to the senses.

So, "disgusting" literally means "not enjoyable" or "opposite of enjoyable."
