I am least familiar with 'mal-' meaning bad.
I am most familiar with 'pre-' meaning before.
malevolent adj. ill will, spite, hatred.
malignant adj. tending to produce death or deterioration.
malice n. desire to cause pain, injury, or distress.
Most of these prefixes are familiar to me, some are medical terms like:
hemi plegia = paralysis on one side of the body.
mal= A Mal Practice doctor indicted because of negligience.
Most of them were familier but extra-outside was new to me.

I am familiar with the using, and meaning of mis,which means wrong.
Like for instances using the word misbehave nowing that you have behaved wrongly. Also the word misunderstood,also meaning wrongly understood. So, for me I am working with prefixes and, understanding their meanings.
