Answer 2

The prefix that conveys the meaning 'deprive' is called negative prefixes. Generally, prefix is added in front of a root word to change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes can create a new word with opposite meaning, can make a word negative or express relations of time, place or manner.

Some common English prefixes are- un-, im-, in-, il-, de- and dis-. A negative prefix is that which carries a negative meaning of the word and not ‘opposite of’ the word.

The word ‘deprive’ with the negative prefix de-, indicates a negative meaning of stopping someone to do something.
