Prefix - in

The prefix /in/ means not. This prefix is often used to create the negative of the root word. Other words that use /in/ to create a negative are indecision and inedible.

Suffix - ous

The suffix /ous/ is used to create adjectives. It also means in possession of or full of. Incredulous means not full of belief.

Root - cred

This root word is cred meaning belief or believable. If something is credible, it is believable. Something that is incredible is not believable or hard to believe. Incredulous means not full of belief.

The word ‘incredulous’ means a sense of unwillingness to believe an aspect. The prefix is ‘in’, the root word is ‘cred’ and the suffix is ‘ous’.

The points that explain the statement are:

  • The prefix, ‘in’ in the word ‘incredulous’ is a negative term. If ‘in’ is not present, the word becomes credulous, which is the opposite.
  • The root word is ‘cred’. It means ‘believable’.
  • The suffix, ‘ous’ means a certain aspect that is denoted in the root word is present in full.

Thus, the prefix in the word turns the root word into a negative form. Whereas, the suffix completes the root word to give meaning.
