Which prefix means 'Under'?

Which prefix means 'Under'?

• A. Under
• B. Between
• C. Around
• D. Flat

Answer: (A)

Think about how prefixes describe where something is in relation to something else. A prefix that expresses a position beneath something is used to show "under." Among the options, the one that literally means under is the word Under, so it best fits the prompt. In medical terminology you’ll also see prefixes like sub- or hypo- that convey the same idea of beneath or below, as in subcutaneous (under the skin) or hypodermic (under the skin). The other choices point to different relationships—between, around, or flat—not the sense of under.
