What does the prefix pry mean?

The prefix "pry" doesn't exist as a stand-alone prefix in English.

However, there are words that *contain* "pry" as part of their root, such as:

* Primate: This word comes from the Latin word *primas*, meaning "first" or "chief". It's used to describe the order of mammals that includes humans, apes, and monkeys.

* Primitive: This word comes from the Latin word *primitivus*, meaning "first in order of time" or "original". It describes something that is basic, simple, or ancient.

If you're looking for a specific word or concept that you think might use "pry" as a prefix, please provide more context or examples.
