Do unsupportive have a prefix and suffix?

"Unsupportive" doesn't have a traditional prefix and suffix in the sense of being formed by combining two separate words.

Here's how it breaks down:

* "Un-" is a prefix, but it's not a standalone word. It's added to the word "supportive" to create the opposite meaning.

* "Supportive" itself is the root word, meaning "giving support."

Therefore, "unsupportive" is formed by adding the negative prefix "un-" to the adjective "supportive."
