* The examples in Exercise 438, are to illustrate certain special meanings of some of the Prefixes. Thus, Be, in Behead, means to deprive of, and is then said to be Privative; so De, in Defame, and Dis, in Disarm.

When a Prefix signifies not, as in dislike (not to like), it is said to be Negative. When it merely adds force to the natural meaning of the radical, as Con, in Convert, it is said to be Intensive, and may be rendered by such words, as very, completely, entirely, etc.
