Whats a prefix for polite

There is only one prefix that is correct to be put at the beginning of the word ‘polite.’ That is the prefix ‘im-’, which forms this word to be ‘impolite.’

EXPLANATION:

A prefix is a letter or set of letters that is attached at the beginning of a word (or root of the word) which partially shows its meaning. For instance, the word prefix starts with the prefix ‘pre-’, which commonly means " in front of" or “before." (Instead, a letter or set of letters attached to the end of a word is known as a suffix.)

Many English words today comprise Greek or Latin’s prefix. Grasping the meanings of the most frequent prefixes can support to deduce the definition of the new word encountered in reading, specifically understanding that the prefixes can make the opposite meaning of the words, like the difference between impossible and possible.

The same prefix can be brought in more than one style (pre- and pro-, for example), and several prefixes (like in-) have more than one value of meaning (in this case, "in" or " to" versus “no" or "without"). Even so, being capable to identify the prefix can help to build a vocabulary repertoire.

Rules vary about when a word must have a hyphen splitting it from its prefix. There are particular style guides are used, like Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, or APA, the stylebook can have a guide of hyphenation or a favored dictionary to obey which words to be hyphenated and which words to close up. If the prefix is connected to the proper noun, sometimes it is usually a hyphen, like anti-American or pre-World War II.
