Verbs:  dis-, re-



"dis-" prefix means:  undo the verb, i.e. undo something that was already done.
       Thus "dis-certify" means cancel a previous certification.
"re-" prefix mean:  do verb again.  Thus, "re-adjust" means "adjust again.
Prefixes can be added to any word-root that makes sense to the speaker / writer.
As usual, the spelling of the verb-root never changes.
