BITTERSWEET can be split into two words with opposite meaning. Can you find a word that can be split into two PREFIXES with opposite meaning?
The ones I found were:
coma ("com" = "with", as in compact; "a" = "without", as in asymptomatic)
malthe (a kind of fish) ("mal" = "bad", as in malevolent, "the" [variant of "theo"] = "godly", as in theist and theology)
monopoly ("mono" = "singular", "poly" = "multiple")
