Answer:

The prefix 'im-' means not. When this prefix is added to words, the words then negate the meaning of the initial word

Like the prefix mis-, the prefix dis- can mean different things. But usually it means one of the following: “Lack of, not,” as in dishonest. “Removal or reversal,” as in disinfect.
