Are their words that have the prefix or?

You're asking about words with the prefix "or-". While "or" is commonly used as a conjunction, it's not a typical prefix in English.

However, there are a few words that *might* be considered to have "or" as part of their root:

* Orphan: This word is thought to derive from the Greek "orphanos," meaning "bereft." While "or-" isn't a distinct prefix, the "orph" part of the word could be seen as a root connected to "orphan."

* Orthodoxy: This word comes from the Greek "orthos," meaning "right, straight, correct." While "or-" isn't a prefix in this case, the word clearly incorporates "orth" as a root.

It's important to note that these examples are a bit more nuanced than typical prefixes. In general, "or" is not a commonly used prefix in English vocabulary.
