momofkhm Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It's like "inert" where the "in" is a prefix but you never hear (at least I don't) the root word "ert" used by itself. Inert is the word I was trying to explain to dd. I know there is another word like it and the prefix I'm pretty sure means not (like in-, non-, im-, ???). But I can not think of what the word is. Anyone? Anyone? (Bueller, Buelller, Bueller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichelleWI Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think there are a host of in- words when you set to thinking about it. Insolent? Indolent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah in FL Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Inclement? Although I have rarely heard clement used. It's not an "in" word, but what about disgruntled? Can one be gruntled?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
