Is disregard a suffix an prefix?

"Disregard" is neither a suffix nor a prefix. It is a complete word on its own, meaning to ignore or pay no attention to something.

* Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word (e.g., "dis" in "disregard").

* Suffixes are added to the end of a word (e.g., "-ing" in "regarding").

The prefix "dis-" is used to create the word "disregard". It means "the opposite of" or "not".
