"Cum" Words

Sharan P. (United States of America)
The prefixes "co-", "con-", and "com-" come from the Latin preposition "cum" meaning "with". As prefixes they usually mean "together". The "-n" in the "con-" prefix often morphs to become the same as the first consonant of the base word. "Collaborate" is an example.
