Antonym Prefixes

Mis- and Non-

"Mis-" means wrongly or badly: misunderstand, misspell, mistreat, mislead, miscalculate. "Non-" means not of a particular type: non-profit, non-fiction, non-verbal, non-stop. "Non-" is often hyphenated in British English (non-profit) but written as one word in American English (nonprofit). Unlike other negative prefixes, "non-" can attach to nouns and longer compound words.
