What is the prefix for word prefix?

This is a bit of a word puzzle! There isn't a direct prefix for the word "prefix".

Here's why:

* "Prefix" itself is a prefix. It means "placed before."

* Words are made of parts: Prefixes, suffixes, and roots. You can't have a prefix for a prefix without getting into a bit of a circular definition.
