What is an affix that attaches to the front of a word?

An affix that attaches to the front of a word is called a prefix.

Here are some examples of prefixes:

* un-: undo, unhappy, unbreakable

* re-: rewrite, redo, reread

* pre-: pre-game, pre-order, pre-existing

* mis-: misunderstand, misbehave, misinterpret

* dis-: disagree, disappear, disconnect

Prefixes can change the meaning of a word in various ways, such as making it negative, indicating a repetition, or changing its direction.
