151: Co and Com May 8, 2015

There are, in English, many different prefixes; like words, they have origins too. The prefix 'co-' or 'com-' depending on the word it is attached to, meaning "with, together," and "combined" (the word combined comes from this prefix). This prefix is used in such words as 'cooperation', and comes as many prefixes do from a Latin preposition (or adverb), in this case 'cum', which means 'with'.
