5 ANSWERS


  1. undo


  2. about/ concerning

  3. undo...i think since like detach [sp] is like undo hold or soemthing [learning latin roots in LA]

  4. it means away, off, reversal or removal

    examples deactivate, debone, defrost, decompress, deplane  

  5. de- down from, off, utterly; this prefix may imply removal or cessation and it may give a bad (or negative) sense to the word.

    Examples: devolve (roll down) deformed (ill/badly formed)

    defoliate (remove the leaves) destroy (build down)
