Prefix Pairs That Reverse a Finding
Captions available
The idea
Six prefix pairs reverse the meaning of a term while changing one or two letters, and each pair attaches to the same roots.
In practice
Six reversals, each shown on a shared root.
Where people slip
Five of these pairs are true opposites. The sixth is a sound-alike, and treating it as an opposite is its own error.
