What are the prefixes of expect?

There are no common prefixes for the word "expect".

While words like "unexpected" and "anticipate" might seem like they have prefixes related to "expect", they actually have their own distinct meanings and origins.

* Unexpected is formed from the prefix "un-", which means "not", and the word "expected".

* Anticipate comes from the Latin word "ante", meaning "before", and "capere", meaning "to take".

Therefore, there are no prefixes specifically used to modify the meaning of "expect".
