Appendix:English prefixes by semantic category

Main category: English prefixes

English has many prefixes that are used to construct words, particularly in scientific and medical language. For a list of rootes, see Appendix:English rootes.

This page is an alternate sorting of the content in Appendix:English prefixes, which sorts prefixes by semantic categories rather than alphabetically.

Body processes

Category description: The dynamics of bodies: e.g. sleep, pregnancy, olfaction. Sensory information (e.g. colour, temperature) are categorized under "Colours, shapes and textures" and "Physical properties". Entries here must be applicable to species other than humans. Bodily processes that are human-specific go under "Human acitvities". Subcategories:

1. Bodily needs and functions: Basic physiological needs and functions, such as sleep and eating.
2. Cellular processes: Cellular processes, such as mitosis and meiosis.
3. Emotion: Affective states brought on by neurophysiological changes in the body.
4. Pathological: Terms that involve pathologies (e.g. emeto for vomit, emesis).
5. Reproduction: Prefixes concerning reproduction in a physiological sense; human sexual behaviour (e.g. sado-) is under Human Activities.
6. Sensory: Prefixes concerning the neurophysiological element of sensory perception. Sensory information such as specific colours are under "Colours, shapes and textures" and "Physical properties".

Prefixes categorized as Body processes.

Colours, shapes, and textures

Category description: Prefixes used for specific colours, shapes, textures, and sounds. These are forms of sensory information that have a stronger psychocultural element to them than those in the category "Physical properties". For example, while there are wavelengths that correspond to certain colours, some colours (e.g. magenta) do not have associated wavelengths as they are created neuropsychologically. The sensory processes of colour vision, haptic information, etc is under Body Processes. Subcategories:

1. Shapes: Prefixes used to describe various geometric shapes. Primarily used for naming organisms.
   1. Boxy: Prefixes for shapes that are boxy - like a cube, square, prism, rectangle, rhombus, etc.
   2. Conical: Prefixes for shapes that are roughly conical, or bowl-shaped.
   3. Cross: Prefixes for shapes like a cross or X; linear with a cross-beam.
   4. Curly: Prefixes for shapes that are spirals, twisted, coiled, helical, etc.
   5. Filiform: Prefixes that are like a hair or string.
   6. Round: Prefixes for shapes that are like spheres, circles, disks, rings, etc.
   7. Spiky: Prefixes for shapes that star-like or otherwise spiky.
   8. Cylindrical: Prefixes for shapes that are cylindrical, tubular, rod-like, or phallic.
   9. Yonic: Prefixes for shapes that have an elliptic shape, but have tapering on the ends (e.g. fusiform), so are not properly Round.
   10. Branching: Prefixes for shapes that have a branching structure, like a feather or leaf.
   11. Bumpy: Prefixes for shapes that have rounded bumps rather than sharp spikes (see: Spiky).
2. Sounds: Prefixes for specific sounds (e.g. a thud), rather than the concept of sound, acoustics, or the auditory sensory system.
3. Textures: Prefixes for textures.
