“Prefixes are letter combinations put on the front of a word that give it another meaning. Such as:

Anti (ANTIvirus)
De (DEconstruct)
Epi (EPIcenter)
Hetero (HETEROsexual)

Suffixes are added to the end of words..

Ness (GentleNESS)
Ing (TalkING)
Dom (KingDOM)
Ity (CapabilITY)”

im looking for a prefix that start with cec and means blind

Latin caecum, meaning 'blind', has come directly into English as caecum/cecum (n) and caecal/cecal (adj).  There is not a separate prefix for English words.
