<h1>Ex-</h1> <Xpage=<-- p. 518 bad typing! -->>

<hw>Ex-</hw> <tt>(?)</tt><def>. A prefix from the latin preposition, <i>ex</i>, akin to Gr. <grk>'ex</grk> or <grk>'ek</grk> signifying <i>out of</i>, <i>out</i>, <i>proceeding from</i>. Hence, in composition, it signifies <i>out of</i>, <as>as, in <ex>ex</ex>hale, <ex>ex</ex>clude; <i>off</i>, <i>from</i>, or <i>out</i>. as in <i>ex</i>scind; <i>beyond</i>, <as>as, in <ex>ex</ex>cess, <ex>ex</ex>ceed, <ex>ex</ex>cel</as>; and sometimes has a privative sense of <i>without</i>, as in <i>ex</i>albuminuos, <i>ex</i>sanguinous. In some words, it intensifies the meaning; in others, it has little affect on the signification. It becomes <i>ef-</i> before <i>f</i>, as in <i>ef</i>fuse. The form <i>e-</i> occurs instead of <i>ex-</i> before <i>b</i>, <i>d</i>, <i>g</i>, <i>l</i>, <i>m</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>r</i>, and <i>v</i>, as in <i>e</i>bullient, <i>e</i>manate, <i>e</i>normous, etc. In words from the French it often appears as <i>es-</i>, sometimes as <i>s-</i> or <i>\'82-</i>; <as>as, <ex>es</ex>cape, <ex>s</ex>cape, <ex>\'82</ex>lite</as>. <i>Ex-</i>, prefixed to names implying office, station, condition, denotes that the person formerly held the office, or is <i>out</i> of the office or condition now; <as>as, <ex>ex</ex>-president, <ex>ex</ex>-governor, <ex>ex</ex>-mayor, <ex>ex</ex>-convict</as>. The Greek form <grk>'ex</grk> becomes <ex>ex</ex> in English, as in <ex>ex</ex>arch; <grk>'ek</grk> becomes <ex>ec</ex>, as in <ex>ec</ex>centric.</as></def>
