an affix is a morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word.

Affixes may be derivational, like English -ness and pre-, or inflectional, like English plural -s and past tense -ed. They are bound morphemes by definition; prefixes and suffixes may be separable affixes. Affixation is, thus, the linguistic process speakers use to form different words by adding morphemes (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation) or the end (suffixation) of words. A prefix is an affix which is placed before the stem of a word.[1] Particularly in the study of languages, a prefix is also called a preformative, because it alters the form of the words to which it is affixed. Prefixes, like other affixes, can be either inflectional, changing the syntactic category, or derivational, changing either the lexical category or the semantic meaning.[2] In English, there are no inflectional prefixes. Prefixes, like all other affixes, are bound morphemes.[1]

example:
Prefix -- -- Example 1) anti -- -- anti-fungal, antidepressant 2) auto -- -- autograph, automobile 3) bi -- -- bicycle, bivalve 4) con -- -- contact, conform, converse 5) un -- -- unconvincing, unnatural, unprepared

In linguistics, a suffix (also sometimes called a postfix or ending) is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns or adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, a suffix is called an afformative, as they can alter the form of the words to which they are fixed. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-IndoEuropean root). A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoid[1] or a semi-suffix[2] (e.g., English -like or German freundlich 'friendly').

Example: 1. -able : loveable, touchable 2. -ly : beautifully, loudly 3. -lity : invisibility, responsibility 4. -ty : stupidity, curiousity 5. -ment : agreement, recruitment
