Answer: The hyphen is used as an intermediate script.

Explanation: When a prefix precedes an acronym or a word that begins with a capital letter, you must write an intermediate script. Example, anti-Hittler.

It is also used when joining two prefixes associated with the same word, example pre- romantic.

I hope I have helped you. Any question ask me.
