Virginia Dillon · Answer 1

Hyper, Mega, Ultra

Explanation:

The best prefixes in which "exaggeration" is implied are Hyper, Mega and Ultra.

Hyper comes from Greek and means "Over". Hyper implies excess of something, for instance: hypersonic (sound frequencies exceeding a thousand million hertz); hypertoxicity (Excessively toxic).

Mega comes from Greek and means "large, vast, important, big, great ". Words containing prefix mega: Megavitamin (a large quantity of vitamins); megabacterium (A bacterium unusually big); Ultra comes Latin and means "beyond" or "extremely". For example: Ultraviolet (light whose wavelength is beyond violet).
