Answer 2

Answer:

The prefix of respect will be 'dis' and the new word becomes 'disrespect.'

Explanation:

• Prefix: Prefix is used before a word and a new word is formed. The meaning of new word is different from the original word.
• Sometimes by adding prefix opposite word can be made.
• Example - dis, in, un, re, de - they are used as prefix words.
• Application of prefix:

(i) The original word = Appear,  prefix = dis, new word = disappear.

(ii) The original word = Stable,  prefix = un, new word = unstable.

(iii) The original word = consistent, prefix = in, new word = inconsistent.

(iv) The original word = motivate,  prefix = de, new word = demotivate.

• The given word in question is: respect. With respect we can add prefix dis, so the new word becomes disrespect. The new word express opposite meaning to the original word.
