A prefix is something you add to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. Mis- is a prefix of Germanic origin that is means bad or wrong.

When you see the prefix mis- at the beginning of a word, it's a sign that whatever is being indicated in the base word is wrong or being done badly. You can use this knowledge as a clue to work out the new word’s meaning. For example: to misbehave means to badly behave or misinformation means wrong information.
