What prefix can make the opposite of dismayed?

Answer 1

The prefix part of the word dismayed is 'dis-'. If the prefix is 'un-' it means the opposite of dismayed; not dismayed: undismayed.

Answer 2

UN-dismayed

* Correction - Not every word can receive a prefix to create a proper word. Using the prefix "un" specifically means to undo or remove a condition or function. This cannot be done using "un-dismay". Dismay is an emotion, similar to disappointment, and its opposite is elated or delighted. These opposites cannot be created by using a prefix with the word "dismayed".

Answer 3

Although the word "dismay" appears to have the prefix "dis", it cannot be considered a prefix today. The different versions of the word "may" and "migh", with many spellings had meaning of might and courage hundreds of years ago. At that time, the "dis" served as a prefix to indicate a lack of courage or might.

Today, the word meanings have changed and "dis" is no longer a prefix, it is an integral part of the word dismay. However, dismayed does include the suffix "ed".
