What does the prefix "equi-" indicate?

  1. Bad, poorly, not

  2. Good, well

  3. War, warlike

  4. Equal

The correct answer is: Equal

The prefix "equi-" is derived from Latin, meaning "equal" or "even." It is commonly used in various terms that denote equality or equivalence in quantity, status, or value. Words like "equilateral" (having all sides equal) and "equity" (fairness or justice in the way people are treated) illustrate how "equi-" conveys a sense of balance or sameness. Recognizing this prefix can help in understanding numerous English words that revolve around the concept of equality.
