What does the prefix trans- mean?
As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of learning Latin and Greek prefixes, root words and suffixes. Most of the English language consists of either Latin or Greek roots. The prefix trans- is a Latin prefix. There are many words in the English language with the prefix trans-. Some examples include transportation, transfer, translucent, transparent, translate, transatlantic, transit. Do you know what trans- means? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
