'Prehistory' 'pre' is the prefix.
Well, darling, the prefix of history is "his-." It comes from the Greek word "historia," meaning "inquiry" or "knowledge acquired by investigation." So next time you're feeling curious about the past, just remember that little nugget of information.
The prefix "micro" is the word that represents small. It can be used in conjunction with other Greek inspired words like microscope, microcosm, and micrencephaly.
"Dystopia" is a modern word coined to contrast with "utopia" which itself is a modern word. Utopia, meaning "Nowhere" was coined by Thomas More, who cobbled it together from a Greek word for place and the negative prefix un-.Dystopia is made from real Greek parts, but it is still a hybrid. The negative prefix dys- means "bad" or "ill" and it contrasts naturally with the positive prefix eu- meaning "well" or "good." And so if Utopia ( Nowhere) were really Eutopia (Good-where), then Dystopia (Bad-where) would make sense, at least, as an antithesis.But it is not, so it does not. More knew his Greek well enough to have used Eutopia if he had meant it. So the word Dystopia is clever and useful, but its roots are in the ruins of antiquity, not in antiquity itself.

ish.---Actually, -ish is a suffix, not a prefix. A prefix is the front part of a word. For instance, take the word immature. That means childish, and the prefix is im- which means not. So an immature person is not mature, but childish.If you want another suffix for child that makes the meaning the same, you can add -like. So a person can be childlike.
Immature and immortal. Those were the only two I could think of. :P
no, it would just be proved. the "im-" prefix already makes it the opposite. To reverse the meaning, just drop the prefix. It like with the word "immature", which is the opposite of "mature".
Immaterial, immature, immeasurable, immodest, immoral and immovable begin with IM. They mean not.
