Answer 2

Answer:

The antonym of the word 'fortune' is -

• Misfortune

Explanation :

• Antonym means the opposite word of the specified word. Examples : 'White - black', 'beautiful - ugly', 'good - bad'.

• Sometime we can add a prefix before a word to form it opposite. Misfortune's 'mis' is a prefix and the word 'misfortune' is a combination of 'mis' and 'fortune' ( mis + fortune = misfortune )

• If we split the word Prefix, we will find 'pre' and 'fix'. 'Pre' means 'before' and 'fix' means 'add'. So prefixes are letter or letters added at the beginning of a word.

• Examples : Ashore, asleep, belittle, illegal, etc. Above 'a', 'a', 'be' and 'il' are prefixes.
